A CODEC AND A METHOD FOR RECEIVING A DIGITAL TRANSMISSION COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF DIGITAL AUDIO SIGNALS AND FOR SIMULTANEOUS REPRODUCTION OF THESE SIGNALS AS ANALOG AUDIO PROGRAMMES

摘要

A codec (26) in a processor-based system (10) handles at least two separate audio programs at the same time. This may be useful, for example, for simultaneously playing one audio program while recording another audio program. A first digital to analog converter pair (58) may be coupled to a first mixer (62) and a second digital to analog converter pair (80) may include a second mixer (82). Thus, two separate audio programs may be handled at the same time, each by a separate digital to analog converter and mixer.
