Minutes of audio WG teleconference, 2012-04-02

Dear all,

The minutes of our meeting on 2nd April 2012 are available online:
http://www.w3.org/2012/04/02-audio-minutes

We looked at 3 of our open issues:

* ISSUE-8: numberOfOutputs of RealtimeAnalyserNode

There was a clear agreement that the web audio API's RealtimeAnalyserNode could sometimes need an output (when you want to use it as a pass-through node) but that should be optional.
Resolution: make the output for the RealtimeAnalyserNode optional

* ISSUE-4: Setting sample rates for individual JavaScriptProcessingNodes

Chris explained how at the moment in the web audio API implementation handles heterogeneous sample rates find, resampling to match the hardware sample rate. We reached consensus on making it possible to set a specific sample rate for each audio context, while making sure that the default is the option used most of the time.

Resolution: add a constructor parameter for audio context to specify sample rate - make sure to specify that default is best unless needed

* ISSUE-6: AudioParam constructor

The discussion on making it possible for the javascriptnodes to create audioparams for themselves reached some early consensus on making it a "nice to have", perhaps something to include in a future version of the web audio spec. Al will be gathering more input on this.

After a bit of housekeeping around ACTION-41 and ACTION-42, the call was adjourned.

Cheers,
Olivier
