  • (a) dividing the digital audio data between a temporally contiguous plurality of frames, each frame including a successive portion of the digital audio data;

    (b) forming a plurality of packets for use in conveying the digital audio data from the server to the client, each packet including a plurality of the frames interleaved in a predefined manner so that adjacent frames in each packet generally do not contain temporally contiguous portions of the digital audio data;

    (c) transmitting the packets from the server to the client; and

    (d) at the client, deinterleaving the frames included in the packets so that the portions of the digital audio data included in the frames are sequentially and temporally arranged in order.
