demux
One-to-many router
Demux is short for demultiplex—to separate a combined signal into its original components.
In electronics and computing, a demultiplexer routes one input to multiple outputs, reversing what a multiplexer does.
Video editors demux files to extract audio and video tracks separately: I need to demux the stream to get just the audio.
