Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, decoding first and second encoded audio portions extracted from a digitally encoded data stream to obtain first and second decoded audio portions. The digitally encoded data stream includes an encoded video portion, multiple encoded audio portions including the first and second audio portions and a reference marker. The first and second decoded audio portions are synchronized to a decoded video portion based on the reference marker. The first decoded audio portion is forwarded to equipment of a first user and the second decoded audio portion is forwarded to equipment of a second user. Presentations of the first decoded audio portion by the equipment of the first user and the second decoded audio portion by the equipment of the second user are synchronized to a presentation of the decoded video portion. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n decoding, by a processing system including a processor, a first encoded audio portion of a plurality of encoded audio portions to obtain a first decoded audio portion, wherein the plurality of encoded audio portions and an encoded video portion are part of a data stream; decoding, by the processing system responsive to a selection, a second encoded audio portion of the plurality of encoded audio portions to obtain a second decoded audio portion; adjusting, by the processing system based on a determination of a timing error, a delay of the second decoded audio portion to obtain a delayed second decoded audio portion, wherein the determination of the timing error is between the first and second decoded audio portions; and forwarding, by the processing system, the first decoded audio portion and the delayed second decoded audio portion to an audio system, wherein a first audio presentation of the first decoded audio portion and a second audio presentation of the delayed second decoded audio portion by the audio system are synchronized to a video presentation of a decoded video portion obtained from the encoded video portion, and wherein the audio system directs the first decoded audio portion and the delayed second decoded audio portion to different spatial regions.
