Abstract
An audio management apparatus manages simultaneous streams of packet-switched audio data for a network conference tool. The apparatus uses a receiver thread to receive packets input from different audio connection points, and a sender thread to send modified packets to the audio connection points. The apparatus uses a plurality of member objects, each associated with a different connection point, to modify the packets to create a custom mix of audio data for each connection point. A common mix, consisting of all of the packets input from all of the connection points, is also maintained, and is used by each of the member objects, along with the packets maintained by the member objects, to perform the desired mixing. The overall number of receiver threads and sender threads is independent of the number of member objects, thereby allowing the system to be highly scalable.
