what is a decoupler?

Hi, i have read most of the audio software design reference manuals, and most of the time, they come up with something called a decoupler. According to the USB audio software design guide, what the decoupler does is: "Manages delivery of audio packets between the endpoint buffer component and the audio components. It can also handle volume control processing."
I know this is a technical question, but it would really help me to understand what they mean by delivery. Can't the audio component simply read onto the buffer? Also, i have seen the use of a decoupler in an AVB design. Are they both the same thing? Personally, i think it has to do with queuing up samples into FiFo's but a more detailed explanation would be welcome. Thanks in advance!
