Methods of communicating audio data and related apparatus

The methods of communicating audio data disclosed herein decouple the generating audio data by an audio source from sending the audio data over a network cloud by a sending side network hardware abstraction layer by using a thread pool. The thread pool decouples the generation of the audio data from the sending of the audio data thereby preventing network delays from impacting audio data generation. The methods decouple the receiving of the audio data from the network cloud by pulling the audio data through at least portions of the receiving side thereby delivering precise quantities of audio data at precise times to an audio device. The data requirements of the audio device control the flow of audio data through the receiving side, not the receiving of audio data from the network cloud.
