Claim 17:
18. A sink device,
wherein the sink device is configured to receive audio data via a digital media interface,
wherein the sink device is configured to decode the received audio data, to acquire decoded audio data, and
wherein the sink device is configured to output the decoded output data;
wherein the sink device is configured to report 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 a 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 latency information provided by the sink device is equal to the latency information associated with a playback using the first audio mode.
