Summary:Multi-channel audio communication in a Serial Low-power Inter-chip Media Bus (SLIMbus) system (300) is disclosed. A multi-channel output port (302(X)) is provided in a SLIMbus system. The multi-channel output port receives an audio stream from an audio source (e.g., a storage medium) via a direct memory access (DMA) pipe (308) and distributes the audio stream to multiple receiving ports (234,238) (e.g., speakers) over multiple data channels (316L,318R), all connected to the single multi-channel output port. A multi-channel input port is also provided in the SLIMbus system. The multi-channel input port connects to multiple data channels from multiple distributing ports (e.g., microphones). It is thereby possible to support multiple data channels with a single DMA pipe, thus improving implementation flexibilities and efficiencies of the SLIMbus system.
