Multi-core audio processor with phase coherency

A multi-core audio processor, comprising:

• a first audio processing core and a second audio processing core having different processing capabilities;
• a plurality of data ports configured to receive and transmit data,
• wherein a first data port of the plurality of data port is configured to receive data associated with a first physical stream;
• a first plurality of audio interface resources configured to perform operations on the data;
• and
• a multiplexing unit configured to route data between the plurality of data ports and the first plurality of audio interface resources, the multiplexing unit including a multiplexer associated with each one of the first plurality of audio interface resources, wherein a first set of multiplexers is configured to route data associated with the first physical stream to a first set of the first plurality of audio interface resources;
• a first transport buffer associated with the first plurality of audio interface resources, the first transport buffer including a buffer associated with each one of the first plurality of audio interface resources, wherein a first set of buffers of the first transport buffer is configured to synchronously store data received from the first set of the first plurality of audio interface resources;
• and
• a programmable register module configured to store a first logical stream identifier in association with a location identifier of the first set of buffers to route data stored in the first set of buffers to either the first audio processing core or the second audio processing core based on the first logical stream identifier.
