A method of managing an audio stream that is read by audio playback equipment in a manner that is synchronized on a reference clock, the audio playback equipment comprising an input buffer memory, the method comprising at least the following steps implemented in said piece of audio playback equipment: receiving the audio stream, the audio stream being in the form of packets, each packet comprising a succession of audio samples associated with at least a first identification information characteristic of a timestamp of said packet; playing the audio samples contained in each packet; the method further comprising the following steps implemented in the audio playback equipment: splitting each received packet into blocks of audio samples; determining at least a second timestamp information corresponding at least to one block of audio samples, both on the basis of the first identification information characteristic of a timestamp of the packet from which the block in question is extracted and also on the basis of the number of samples between a particular sample of said packet and a given sample of said block, the second timestamp information being determined by: Point 1: calculation off an offset between the particular sample and the given sample; Point 2: multiplication of offset of point 1 by a conversion ratio for converting a number of samples into timestamp information; Point 3: addition of the result of point 2 to the first timestamp information in order to obtain the second timestamp information; injecting the block into the buffer memory by copying the block at the end of the buffer memory when reaching a predetermined threshold of available space in said buffer memory; the method comprising the steps of: - storing a time given by the reference clock at the moment at which the given sample of the block is injected in the buffer memory, - sending a message including at least one correspondence information between the first identification information characteristic of a timestamp of said packet and the time stored, the correspondence information comprising said second identification information corresponding to the block and said time stored. receiving the audio stream, the audio stream being in the form of packets, each packet comprising a succession of audio samples associated with at least a first identification information characteristic of a timestamp of said packet; playing the audio samples contained in each packet; splitting each received packet into blocks of audio samples; determining at least a second timestamp information corresponding at least to one block of audio samples, both on the basis of the first identification information characteristic of a timestamp of the packet from which the block in question is extracted and also on the basis of the number of samples between a particular sample of said packet and a given sample of said block, the second timestamp information being determined by: Point 1: calculation off an offset between the particular sample and the given sample; Point 2: multiplication of offset of point 1 by a conversion ratio for converting a number of samples into timestamp information; Point 3: addition of the result of point 2 to the first timestamp information in order to obtain the second timestamp information; Point 1: calculation off an offset between the particular sample and the given sample; Point 2: multiplication of offset of point 1 by a conversion ratio for converting a number of samples into timestamp information; Point 3: addition of the result of point 2 to the first timestamp information in order to obtain the second timestamp information; injecting the block into the buffer memory by copying the block at the end of the buffer memory when reaching a predetermined threshold of available space in said buffer memory; - storing a time given by the reference clock at the moment at which the given sample of the block is injected in the buffer memory, - sending a message including at least one correspondence information between the first identification information characteristic of a timestamp of said packet and the time stored, the correspondence information comprising said second identification information corresponding to the block and said time stored.
