System and method for synchronizing data streams

A computer system for synchronizing data streams, comprising:

• (a) a first subsystem for playing a first sequence of signal packets of a first type of signals;
• and
• (b) a second subsystem for playing a second sequence of signal packets of a second type of signals, wherein:
• each signal packet of the first sequence has been stamped with a sequence number corresponding to the position of the signal packet in the first sequence;
• each signal packet of the second sequence has been stamped with a corresponding sequence number of the first sequence;
• and
• playing of the second sequence is synchronized with the playing of the first sequence by comparing the sequence numbers of the second sequence to the sequence numbers of the first sequence.

A computer-implemented process for synchronizing data streams, comprising the steps of:

• (a) generating a first sequence of signal packets of a first type of signals;
• (b) stamping each signal packet of the first sequence with a sequence number corresponding to the position of the signal packet in the first sequence;
• (c) generating a second sequence of signal packets of a second type of signals;
• and
• (d) stamping each signal packet of the second sequence a corresponding sequence number of the first sequence.
