US Patent 7165130 Method and system for an adaptive multimode media queue

Embodiments of the invention may provide a method for implementing an adaptive multimode media queue. A mode of operation may be determined for a received media stream based on a sampling rate of the media stream. The mode of operation may be a wideband mode and/or a narrowband mode. Depending on the determined mode, the adaptive multimode media queue may be partitioned into a low band media queue and a high band media queue. A wideband media stream split into a high band and a low band is buffered into the adaptive multimode media queue wherein the high band is stored in the high band media queue, and the low band is stored in the low band media queue. The high band media queue and low band media queue may be a contiguous memory block within the adaptive multimode media queue. The received media stream, which may have different sampled data rates may be buffered within the partitioned adaptive multimode media queue.
