Facility for simultaneously outputting both a mixed digital audio signal and an unmixed digital audio signal multiple concurrently received streams of digital audio data

A system for processing digital audio data, said system comprising:

• means for receiving a first stream of digital audio data from a first audio source and a second stream of digital audio data from a second audio source, wherein said first audio source and said second audio source comprise separate and independent audio sources;
• means for outputting the first stream of digital audio data as an unmixed digital audio signal;
• means for digitally mixing the first stream of digital audio data and the second stream of digital audio data and outputting based thereon a mixed digital audio signal, wherein said mixed digital audio signal is output concurrent with output of said unmixed digital audio signal;
• and
• means for resampling said second stream of digital audio data based on a sample frequency of said first stream of digital audio data when a sample frequency of said second stream differs from the sample frequency of said first stream.

A system for processing digital audio data, said system comprising:

• an audio digital signal processor adapted to receive a first stream of digital audio data from a first audio source and a second stream of digital audio data from a second audio source, wherein said first audio source and said second audio source comprise separate and independent audio sources, and output therefrom the first stream of digital audio data as an unmixed digital audio signal;
• wherein the audio digital signal processor is further adapted to digitally mix the first stream of digital audio data and the second stream of digital audio data and output based thereon a mixed digital audio signal, wherein the mixed digital audio signal is output concurrent with output of the unmixed digital audio signal;
• and
• wherein the audio digital signal processor is further adapted to resample said second stream of digital audio data based on a sample frequency of said first stream of digital audio data when a sample frequency of said second stream differs from the sample frequency of said first stream.

At least one program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying at least one program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method for processing digital audio data, said method comprising:

• receiving a first stream of digital audio data from a first audio source and a second stream of digital audio data from a second audio source wherein said first audio source and said second audio source comprise separate and independent audio sources;
• outputting the first stream of digital audio data as an unmixed digital audio signal;
• digitally mixing the first stream of digital audio data and the second stream of digital audio data and outputting based thereon a mixed digital audio signal, wherein said mixed digital audio signal is output concurrent with output of said unmixed digital audio signal;
• and
• resampling said second stream of digital audio data based on a sample frequency of said first stream of digital audio data when a sample frequency of said second stream differs from the sample frequency of said first stream.
