Patent ID: 8069051

Claim:
An integrated circuit, comprising: a decoder circuit configured to receive encoded audio data and to output decoded audio data including data streams associated with a data file and a subsequent data file; a predictive circuit electrically coupled to the decoder circuit, which is configured to selectively generate additional samples based on samples in the data file, wherein the additional samples correspond to times after the end of a data stream associated with the data file; a filter circuit electrically coupled to the decoder circuit and selectively electrically coupled to the predictive circuit, which is configured to selectively combine samples at a beginning of the subsequent data file with the additional samples; and control logic electrically coupled to the decoder circuit, wherein the control logic is configured to instruct the decoder circuit to discard a portion of the data stream associated with the data file without decoding the portion of the data stream, wherein the times after the end of the data stream correspond to times for the portion of the data stream.
