Abstract

A method of providing media content (e.g., audio and/or video) and processing data received over a network. Received data may be processed at a reduced rate while at least one media application is running. Received packets may be processed in batches, and media data may be processed in between processing the batches. The method may provide for reducing or eliminating glitches in the media content caused by receiving data over a network while providing the media content.
