Hi!

AudioContext provides two methods for decoding audio (both the  
synchronous createBuffer and the asynchronous decodeAudioData), and  
people will quite likely want to use these methods for decoding audio  
files without actually wanting to play them using an AudioContext.

Is there anything preventing us to allow users to do things like:

function decoded(data) {
   // Dostuff
}

AudioContext.decodeAudioData(rawData, decoded);


Also, both versions of the createBuffer method could be treated similarly.

Any opinions?


Regards,

   Marcus
