Audio-ISSUE-52 (NoteOnOffNaming): noteOn, noteGrainOn and noteOff naming [Web Audio API]
http://www.w3.org/2011/audio/track/issues/52
Raised by: Philip Jägenstedt
On product: Web Audio API
The naming convention is unfortunate as the connection to a note is not clear. For a game sound effects or UI sound effects, this terminology is fairly obscure.
The noteGrainOn grainDuration parameter does not seem to serve any purpose given that noteOff also exists.
Suggested simplification:
void play(optional double when, optional double offset, optional double duration);
void stop(optional double when);
Note that the special meaning of 0 in note* is not needed if the arguments are optional.
