Abstract
The invention is concerned with a method and an apparatus, wherein information data is sent between at least two transceivers in a telecommunication system. The information data is transmitted from the sender of a transceiver to the receiver of one or more other transceivers in form of digital signals having a given sampling frequency. The signals are played out by the receiver in a controlled way. The invention is mainly characterized by estimation of the sender's sampling rate at the sending side of a transceiver, transmitting the estimation to the receiving side of an another transceiver, and controlling the playout of the information data at the receiving side by means of the sampling rate estimated at the sending side to avoid delays and/or interrupts in the presentation. The invention is especially suitable in connection with packet based networks wherein the information data is sent between the transceivers in the telecommunication system in form of packet data frames, such as audio frames.
