Hi all,
I have found there to be issues with using ScriptProcessor node being on
the main thread, my application plays audio and updates UI which causes
drop-outs in audio. There was a post a while ago about using WebWorker for
processing:

Looking at the API nothing has materialised out of that.
Is there any way to decouple the ScriptProcessor node from UI and the rest
or some way to make sure these time-sensitive calls are prioritised?
