Synchronization of media stream components

A device for presenting a broadcast media stream to a user, the device comprising:

• a buffer for storing data samples of a plurality of components of the broadcast media stream and a plurality of information packets, each data sample comprising relative timing, and each information packet comprising relationship timing indicating a relationship between the relative timing and an absolute time, each information packet corresponding to one of the data samples;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• perform a look-ahead action to extract the relationship timing from the buffered information packets for each of the plurality of components;
• use the extracted relationship timing and relative timing to synchronize the data samples of the plurality of components and to indentify the data samples in the plurality of components to be streamed at the same time;
• compare the identified data samples to a previously identified set of data samples to determine a drift between the plurality of components;
• and
• add or omit data samples from the particular component to correct for the determined drift as the data samples are streamed from the buffer.
