CONTROL COMPONENT REMOVAL OF ONE OR MORE ENCODED FRAMES FROM ISOCHRONOUS TELECOMMUNICATION STREAM BASED ON ONE OR MORE CODE RATES OF THE ONE OR MORE ENCODED FRAMES TO CREATE NON-ISOCHRONOUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS STREAM

An isochronous telecommunication stream comprises a plurality of frames encoded by a variable rate isochronous coder-decoder (codec) at a plurality of code rates of multiple available code rates. A control component removes one or more encoded frames from the plurality of frames of the isochronous telecommunication stream based on one or more code rates of the one or more encoded frames to create a non-isochronous telecommunication stream.
