ABSTRACT:
Circuitry, embodied in a media subsystem, reproduces a speech or other type of audio signal, and is operable during a time that comfort noise is being generated for storing data from an arriving data packet that contains data representing a beginning of an interval of speech. The circuitry detects that data representing speech has been stored and synchronizes the circuitry to the beginning of the interval of speech by terminating the generation of comfort noise that precedes the interval of speech, and reproduces the speech by decoding the stored data from the data packet and converting the decoded data to an audio speech signal. The arriving data packet contains at least one frame of speech data having a duration of X milliseconds, and the circuitry includes an audio device, such as a DAC or a PCM connection, that requests decoded speech data at a rate given by X/Y milliseconds, where Y is greater than one. By example, the frame of speech data has a duration in the range of about 20 milliseconds to about 60 milliseconds, and an audio device requests decoded speech data at a rate of less than every 10 milliseconds (e.g., every 5 milliseconds). The circuitry may be contained within a wireless communications device, such as a cellular telephone or a personal communicator.
