Abstract

An audio buffer configuration file is a data structure of configuration information that includes an audio buffer identifier to uniquely identify audio buffers that are instantiated from the configuration information. The information can include a buffer identifier to identify the buffer as a sink-in audio buffer that receives a stream of audio data from an audio data source, or as a mix-in audio buffer that receives one or more streams of audio data from other audio buffers. Further, the information can include logical bus identifiers to uniquely identify one or more logical buses that correspond to the audio buffer, where an individual logical bus streams audio data to the audio buffer when the audio buffer is created. The configuration information can also include an audio effects list to identify one or more audio effects that are instantiated as components of the audio buffer when the audio buffer is instantiated.
