<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for controlling buffering of an audio stream so that sounds can be played continuously without stoppage by using a minimum amount of buffering. <P>SOLUTION: The method for controlling buffering includes a stage for determining a buffering period of compressed audio data on the basis of a time stamp which corresponds to a packet division unit, by considering the state of a network a stage for calculating a time period where the compressed audio data is to be stored in a buffer, on the basis of the determined buffering period, a stage for buffering inputted compressed audio data in a decoding buffer for the calculated time period, a stage for storing decoded audio data in a composition buffer for synchronization with video data after decoding the compressed audio data stored in the decoding buffer after the buffering time has elapsed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
