    Abstract: A method performed a local device that is communicatively coupled with several remote devices, the method includes: receiving, from each remote device with which the local device is engaged in a communication session, an input audio stream; receiving, for each remote device, a set parameters; determining, for each input audio stream, whether the input audio stream is to be 1) rendered individually or 2) rendered as a mix of input audio streams based on the set of parameters; for each input audio stream that is determined to be rendered individually, spatial rendering the input audio stream as an individual virtual sound source that contains only that input audio stream; and for input audio streams that are determined to be rendered as the mix of input audio streams, spatial rendering the mix of input audio streams as a single virtual sound source that contains the mix of input audio streams.

    Abstract: A video playback buffer adjustment system is disclosed. The video playback buffer has a target size, measured in units of time of content, and includes a compressed frames queue and an uncompressed frames queue. The uncompressed frames queue has a minimum threshold queue size. If the size of the uncompressed frames queue falls below the minimum threshold size, then a next encoded frame in the compressed frames queue is removed from the compressed frames queue, decoded, and enqueued in the uncompressed frames queue. If a current size of the playback queue exceeds the target size plus Δ (a hysteresis value), then a playback frame rate is increased, and a presentation time of one or more frames in the uncompressed frames queue is adjusted according to the increased playback frame rate. If the playback queue size is less than the target size minus Δ, the playback speed can be reduced.
