    Abstract: Decoder equipment includes a first output suitable for connecting to audio playback equipment, a second output suitable for connecting to video playback equipment, processor means configured to use a first audio link of the first output to deliver a first audio signal coming from an incoming audio/video stream received by the decoder equipment, and to use a second audio link to deliver a second audio signal associated with at least one sound generated by the decoder equipment. The first link presents first characteristics imparting a first latency to the first audio signal and the second link presents second characteristics imparting a second latency, lower than the first latency, to the second audio signal.
