                                 DECISION ON APPEAL

          1 through 5 and 7 through 31.  In an Amendment After Final,                 
          claims 21 through 31 were canceled.  Accordingly, claims                    
          1 through 5 and 7 through 20 remain before us on appeal.

          that processes a graphics input and an audio input to produce a             
          graphics output and an audio output.
