Method and system for asynchronous pipeline architecture for multiple independent dual/stereo channel PCM processing

A machine-readable storage having stored thereon, a computer program having at least one code section for processing audio signals, the at least one code section being executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform steps comprising:

• processing metadata information generated from a decoded pulse code modulation (PCM) frame, wherein said decoded PCM frame comprises audio information;
• and
• asynchronously pipeline processing said audio information comprised within said decoded PCM frame based on said processed metadata information and an output decoding rate, wherein input of data into each stage of said asynchronously pipeline processing is dynamically controlled by said output decoding rate.

A system for processing audio signals, the system comprising:

• one or more circuits that enable processing metadata information generated from a decoded pulse code modulation (PCM) frame, wherein said decoded PCM frame comprises audio information;
• and
• said one or more circuits enable asynchronously pipeline processing said audio information in said decoded PCM frame based on said processed metadata information and an output decoding rate, wherein input of data into each stage of said asynchronously pipeline processing is dynamically controlled by said output decoding rate.
