An audio configuration method establishes an audio connection between an audio source and multiple audio sinks and determines an audio context of an audio application generating audio content. The audio connection includes multiple components of latency and at least one latency component is configured based on the audio context. The transport may include a group of synchronized isochronous streams and may be associated with a transport latency indicative of time required to deliver packets to the audio sinks and a presentation latency indicative of time required for the audio sinks to render packets. The transport latency may reflect a flush timeout parameter used to extend the lifetime of a packet in exchange for longer transport delay. The flush timeout parameter may be configured in accordance with an audio context of the audio application. Applications with low latency tolerance might perform better with a lower flush timeout and vice versa.
