Claim One:
1. A method of operating an electronic device to provide audio support for a plurality of processes operating on the electronic device, the processes including a process that nominally causes generation of audio output based on asynchronous events and a process that nominally causes generation of audio output in a predictive manner, the method comprising: processing each of a plurality of audio channels to generate a processed audio output signal for that audio channel, each audio channel corresponding to one of the asynchronous events processing or one of the predictive manner processing; and combining the processed audio output signals to generate an overall audio output signal for the electronic device such that, for at least one of the audio channels corresponding to predictive manner processing, the generated audio output for that channel included into the overall audio output signal is based at least in part on configuration information associated with the processed audio output signal for the audio channel corresponding to asynchronous events based processing.
