Abstract: An apparatus and a system, as well as a method and article, may operate to interchangeably store audio data associated with an audio interface protocol selected from a plurality of audio interface protocols in a polymorphic memory structure capable of being coupled to a common digital input-output interface.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention includes first and second storage elements. The first storage element stores request information transmitted from a first processor operating at a first frequency. The first and second processors operate at different frequencies. The request information is organized according to a request format. The second storage element stores response information transmitted by a second processor operating at a second frequency different than the first frequency in response to the request information. The response information is organized according to a response format.
