ABSTRACT:
Machine-readable media, methods, and apparatus are described to stream data between a codec and a buffer in system memory and to maintain a value in system memory that is indicative of a current position in the buffer. In some embodiments, an audio controller streams the data across an isochronous channel having relaxed ordering rules to the buffer in the system memory and updates the value indicative of current position via a write across the isochronous channel to the system memory.
