Techniques are disclosed that involve the processing of audio streams. For instance, a host processing platform may receive a content stream that includes an encoded audio stream. In turn, a graphics engine produces from it a decoded audio stream. This producing may involve the graphics engine performing various operations, such as an entropy decoding operation, an inverse quantization operation, and an inverse discrete cosine transform operation. In embodiments, the content stream may further include an encoded video stream. Thus the graphics engine may produce from it a decoded video stream. This audio and video decoding may be performed in parallel.
