Audio WG summary, 1-15 August 2012

This is a summary of WG activity (mailing-list, bugzilla and spec change sets) for the first two weeks of August 2012.

*****

One major topic of discussion during the first two weeks of August was prompted by the (re)discovery of the sync/delay issue with custom nodes. 
Thread: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-audio/2012JulSep/thread.html#msg422

One solution proposed during the discussion was to have everything in jsnodes, a proposal which ignited another revisit of the native vs custom nodes discussion.

The general consensus (but not unanimous opinion) is that both native and custom nodes are desirable, with some thinking about whether the current architecture of JSAudioNodes is the right one. I find this e-mail by Kumar to be the best summary of the consensus and questions raised so far: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-audio/2012JulSep/0550.html

On the spec/doc front, Joe and I have been working on the Use Cases and Requirements doc, revising the scenarios and developing Implementation Notes (and requirements) for each scenario:
