1. A method for transmitting encoded audio data from a first device to a second device, the method comprising:
receiving, by a transmitter, a stream of application audio data from any of a plurality of audio source applications on the first device;
encoding, by the transmitter, the stream of application audio data;
in response to an end of the stream of application audio data, providing, by the transmitter, encoded filler audio data as an encoded stream of filler audio data; and
transmitting, by the transmitter, the encoded stream of application audio data and the encoded stream of filler audio data in an encoded output data stream to the second device for decoding, wherein the encoded stream of application audio data and the encoded stream of filler audio data comprise constant audio data characteristics in the encoded output data stream, and wherein the constant audio data characteristics comprise any one or more of a constant sample rate, a constant number of channels, or a constant resolution in the encoded output data stream.
