A system for an improved control of data stream management in a vehicle, said system comprising: a media controller; a processor; a storage element coupled to the processor; encoded instructions; wherein the system is configured to: select at least a first input/output system to receive a packet payload by the media controller; determine an applicable rule set governing a destination input/output system and payload type; determine a current input/output system configuration; determine whether the payload can be provided to each of the destination input/output systems; detect a stimulus indicating that caching of media is to be performed; selectively cache the payload from the destination input/output system for future playback for an operator at the first destination input/output system or at another operator-specific input/output system by the media controller; and wherein the selective caching for future playback on operator-specific input/output system results in improved vehicular data stream management.
