a sample to use Web Worker with current JavaScriptAudioNode

This is a simple sample to use web worker with JavaScriptAudioNode. It just silent the left channel and double the right channel.

Although it can work, it has some issues including logic etc.


1.       Have to cache the event so in the audioResponse we can access the event.outputBuffer. The event can be override by the following events.

2.       audioProcessor may return before the worker completed the work, there is potential issue for asynchronous vs. synchronous.

In the main.js

function audioProcessor(e) {
    console.log('audioProcessor ' + eventCount++);
    audioEvent = e;

    var li = audioEvent.inputBuffer.getChannelData(0);
    var ri = audioEvent.inputBuffer.getChannelData(1);

    worker.postMessage({left:li, right:ri}, [li.buffer, ri.buffer]);
}

function audioResponse(e) {
    console.log('audioResponse ' + responseCount++);
    var data = e.data;

    var l = data.left;
    var r = data.right;

    var lo = audioEvent.outputBuffer.getChannelData(0);
    var ro = audioEvent.outputBuffer.getChannelData(1);

    for (var i = 0; i < l.length; i++) {
        lo[i] = l[i];
        ro[i] = r[i];
    }
}

function process() {
    var source = context.createBufferSource();
    var jsnode = context.createJavaScriptNode(4096, 2, 2);
    jsnode.onaudioprocess = audioProcessor;
    source.buffer = buffer;
    source.connect(jsnode);
    jsnode.connect(context.destination);
    source.noteOn(0);
}

In worker.js



self.addEventListener('message', process, false);



function process(e) {

    var data = e.data;



    if (data != undefined) {

        var li = data.left;

        var ri = data.right;

//

        var lout = new Float32Array(li.length);

        var rout = new Float32Array(ri.length);

//

        for (var i = 0; i < li.length; i++) {

            lout[i] = 0;

            rout[i] = ri[i] * 2;

        }



        var message = {left: lout, right: rout};



        self.postMessage(message, [lout.buffer, rout.buffer]);

    }

}
