A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module receiving one or more pairs of coded values. The method continues with the DS processing module creating a received coded matrix from the one or more pairs of coded values. When the received coded matrix includes a decode threshold number of pairs of coded values, the method continues with the DS processing module generating a data matrix from the received coded matrix and an encoding matrix, reproducing a one of a first plurality of data segments from a first plurality of data blocks of the data matrix, and reproducing a one of a second plurality of data segments from a second plurality of data blocks of the data matrix, wherein the one of the first plurality of data segments and the one of the second plurality of data segments maintain the time alignment of a first and second data streams.
