Claim 25:
26. A method for operating a sink device,
wherein the method comprises receiving audio data via a digital media interface,
wherein the method comprises decoding the received audio data, to acquire decoded audio data, and
wherein the method comprises outputting the decoded output data;
wherein the method comprises reporting a device-individual latency information which comprises latency information associated with a playback using a first audio mode and latency information associated with a playback using a second audio mode, in response to a request from a source device, and
wherein the sink device is configured to provide a contribution to a total audio latency information describing a total latency of an audio path for the first audio mode or describing an average total latency of the audio path over a plurality of audio modes,
wherein the contribution to the total audio latency information is different from the latency information associated with a playback using the second audio mode, and
wherein the contribution to a total audio latency information provided by the sink device is equal to the latency information associated with a playback using the first audio mode.
