Multi-language buffering during media playback

A method for processing a data stream comprising audio and video data, comprising:

• buffering the data stream in an input buffer;
• analyzing the data stream for finding information on a plurality of language-specific contents in different languages;
• appending a particular language-specific content to a queue of a plurality of parallel queues, each queue comprising references to language-specific content in the same language, the particular language-specific content being appended to a parallel queue of the same language;
• retrieving a language-specific content from a parallel queue selected in accordance with a currently valid language selection signal;
• feeding the retrieved language-specific content to a subsequent processing stage, wherein language-specific content of a non-selected parallel queue is not fed to the subsequent processing stage.
