Evan, thanks for the reply. I don't know what the exact technique is that they use, specifically, although there are protocols that address jitter and wander, two impairments that affect packet (in this case, syllabic) delivery scheduling, and some proprietary measures, as well.

Intuitively, I would think that they are using packet sequence information and their respective time stamps to determine how to slow down the fastest packets to the latency of the slower ones, but I dont' know for sure. It could even be something simpler, or even more exotic than this, that I am unaware of.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you. Perhaps Atin or one of the others here can address your question?

Regards, Frank

Evan, sometimes I can't see the forest because there are too many trees standing in the way <g> It came to my mind after my fifteen minutes were up that the common term used to describe this is "buffering," and it is analogous, in this case, to how Real Audio smooths out program delivery. Only in an abbreviated form.
