1. A method comprising:
receiving a request for a first media asset and a second media asset for simultaneous presentation on a user device;
in response to receiving the request, generating a user interface comprising a first screen configured for presentation of a first stream of the first media asset and a second screen configured for presentation of a second stream of the second media asset simultaneously with the first screen;
accessing a first audio manifest for the first stream of the first media asset, wherein the first audio manifest identifies (i) a first plurality of audio segments corresponding to the first stream during a first period of time and (ii) a priority rating corresponding to each audio segment of the first plurality of audio segments during the first period of time;
accessing a second audio manifest for the second stream of the second media asset, wherein the second audio manifest identifies (i) a plurality of audio segments corresponding to the second stream during a second period of time and (ii) a priority rating corresponding to each of the second plurality of audio segments during the second period of time;
generating a combined audio manifest with audio segments from the first plurality of audio segments corresponding to the first stream during the first period of time and the second plurality of audio segments corresponding to the second stream during the second period of time, wherein generating the combined audio manifest comprises:
identifying pairs of audio segments, each pair comprising one of the first plurality of audio segments from the first audio manifest corresponding to the first stream of the first media asset and one of the second plurality of audio segments from the second audio manifest corresponding to the second stream of the second media asset;
comparing, for each pair of audio segments, the respective priority ratings; and
selecting, for the combined audio manifest, the audio segment from each pair of audio segments that has a higher priority rating, wherein the priority rating is a measure of importance of a particular audio segment; and
providing for presentation, on the user device, the first stream of the first media asset on the first screen during the first period of time, the second stream of the second media asset on the second screen during the second period of time, and audio from both the first plurality of audio segments and the second plurality of audio segments based on the combined audio manifest.
