Various techniques relating to the buffering of a live audio broadcast on an electronic device and the subsequently playback the buffered data are provided. In one embodiment, the playback speed of the buffered data may be increased relative to the actual speed at which the data was originally broadcasted. If the buffered playback (using the increased playback speed) synchronizes or catches up to the live broadcast, the electronic device may disable buffering and output the live stream instead. This decreases processing demands by lowering processing cycles required for buffering (encoding, etc.) and playback of the buffered data (decoding, etc.), thereby reducing power consumption.

The invention discloses a sequential control method and device for radio frequency of a wireless communication terminal. A frame timer and an event sequence timer in the radio frequency sequential timing control structure are separated and the startup of the event sequence timer is controlled by the frame timer. After a sequencer is started, the trigger time of a radio frequency interface event and the value of the event sequence timer are compared. The corresponding radio frequency interface event is triggered when the trigger time is reached. In this way, the adjustment operation on the frame timer does not affect the execution of the already configured event, thus avoiding a false command action. Moreover, an instruction pre-fetch module is added. When the instruction of the radio frequency interface event read from the instruction fetch module is not triggered successively following the last instruction, the instruction is written into the instruction pre-fetch module and then the instruction of next radio frequency interface event is read by the instruction fetch module, thereby the decoding and execution module can process the next instruction after processing the instruction of the last radio frequency interface event, and makes full use of the clock cycle consumed by the instruction fetch.
