Abstract

The present invention prevents a receiving buffer from becoming empty by: storing received packets in the receiving buffer; detecting the largest arrival delay jitter of the packets and the buffer level of the receiving buffer by a state detecting part; obtaining an optimum buffer level for the largest delay jitter using a predetermined table by a control part; determining, based on the detected buffer level and the optimum buffer level, the level of urgency about the need to adjust the buffer level; expanding or reducing the waveform of a decoded audio data stream of the current frame decoded from a packet read out of the receiving buffer by a consumption adjusting part to adjust the consumption of reproduction frames on the basis of the urgency level, the detected buffer level, and the optimum buffer level.
