For every audio frame, the ODR-AudioEnc checks if a block of PAD data is available by doing a nonblocking recv() on the UDP socket. If yes, it inserts it into the audio frame; if not, the audio frame will not contain PAD. In any case, it sends a request to ODR-PadEnc for new data:

The communication between ODR-PadEnc and ODR-AudioEnc was done using a nonblocking FIFO until ODR-PadEnc v3, and was subsequently replaced by a unix domain datagram socket.

The implementations are in https://github.com/Opendigitalradio/ODR-PadEnc/blob/master/src/pad_interface.cpp and https://github.com/Opendigitalradio/ODR-AudioEnc/blob/master/src/PadInterface.cpp
