Abstract:
A first example playback device includes one or more processors and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first playback device to perform functions. The functions include generating a mixed audio signal comprising one or more components of a first audio stream and one or more components of a second audio stream; and playing the mixed audio signal, where the one or more components of the second audio stream of the mixed audio signal played by the first playback device are played in synchrony with a second playback device configured to play the second audio stream. An example non-transitory computer-readable medium and an example method, both related to the first example playback device, are also disclosed herein.

Claim (Index 21):
A method of operating a media playback system comprising a first computing device, a second computing device, and a third computing device, the method comprising:\n at the first computing device, generating a first mixed audio signal comprising a first audio stream and a third audio stream, wherein the first audio stream is different from the third audio stream; at the second computing device, generating a second mixed audio signal comprising a second audio stream and the third audio stream, wherein the second audio stream is different than the first audio stream and the third audio stream; at the first computing device, playing the first mixed audio signal, wherein playing the first mixed audio signal comprises playing the third audio stream in synchrony with playback of the third audio stream by the second computing device based on playback timing for the third audio stream received from the third computing device; and at the second computing device, playing the second mixed audio signal, wherein playing the second mixed audio signal comprises playing the third audio stream in synchrony with playback of the third audio stream by the first computing device based on playback timing for the third audio stream received from the third computing device.
