Re: AudioDestinationNode > 2 channels?

I see... Sorry I didn't answer the question at all and actually I don't
know if it is possible.

Maybe with the AudioChanelMerger interface ? It seems like the
AudioDestinationNode deals with the hardware since it only has one input. I
tried to console.log (context.destination) and it detected the two channels
of my laptop soundcard...

I can't help more, sorry !

Thanks ! Good to know, I'll keep an eye on it.
