Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a wireless audio system, a first wireless device may generate a first media stream associated with a first media mode and a second media stream associated with a second media mode, buffer the first media stream in accordance with a first latency time value for adjusting a first latency time of the first media stream and buffering the second audio stream, independently from the first media stream, in accordance with a second latency time value for adjusting a second latency time of the second media stream, and transmit a mixed media stream including the buffered first media stream mixed with the buffered second media stream to a second wireless device.

Abstract: A compressed over pulse-code modulation (PCM) (CoP) format (e.g., for data transfer between a Bluetooth component and an audio digital signal processor (ADSP) component) may be modified to transport additional metadata (e.g., sideband data). Sideband data may be transported to convey parameter control information (e.g., control information for codec parameter control interfaces, such as information for quality mode changes), in band data (e.g., data specific parameters, such as timestamps for playback timing control and synchronization purposes), etc. Sideband data may be transported (e.g., communicated) over an interface between a Bluetooth component and an ADSP component while an applications processor is operating in a low power state or sleep mode. According to some aspects, the modified CoP format (e.g., a sideband packet) may include a sideband identification (ID) field and a sideband data payload (e.g., where the sideband ID field indicates the structure of a corresponding sideband data payload).

Abstract: Aspects disclosed in the detailed description include packetizing encoded audio frames into compressed-over-pulse code modulation (PCM) (COP) packets for transmission over PCM interfaces. In one aspect, a COP packetizing circuit is configured to receive an encoded audio frame generated from a PCM frame, and generate a COP packet that includes the encoded audio frame irrespective of the audio format. The COP packet is generated with a packet length proportional to a PCM length of the PCM frame, allowing the COP packetizing circuit to transmit the COP packet over an isochronous PCM interface with a lower bit rate than the PCM frame to reduce power. The COP packetizing circuit provides a mobile computing device with a single packetizing scheme that supports multiple audio formats, and allows for reducing power through bit rate scaling.
