Abstract
An example method includes receiving, by a communication controller of a source device and from an audio source of the source device, audio data to be wirelessly transmitted to a sink device, wherein the audio data is received from the audio source at a rate; storing, by the communication controller and in a buffer, the audio data as a sequence of audio blocks, wherein each audio block includes audio data for a respective output time; transmitting, by the source device and to the sink device, audio blocks of the sequence of audio blocks using a wireless link between the source device and the sink device; determining a current condition of the wireless link; and automatically adjusting, by the communication controller and based on the current condition of the wireless link, the rate at which audio data is received from the audio source.
