Generally speaking, if you have 2 channels, let's call them L for left and R for right, and you want to transmit or store 20 samples, then:

Interleaved = LRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLR

Non-Interleaved = LLLLLLLLLLRRRRRRRRR

good answer, although non-interleaved generally means that you would actually have two buffers for your example, one containing only left samples, and one containing only right samples. – Mark Heath Jul 26 '13 at 15:53
