https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21702

            Bug ID: 21702
           Summary: Make the usage of content sniffing for decodeAudioData
                    explicit
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: AudioWG
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Web Audio API
          Assignee: crogers@google.com
          Reporter: ehsan@mozilla.com
        QA Contact: public-audio@w3.org

We should probably explicitly say in the spec that the buffer passed to
decodeAudioData should be sniffed to get the content type, according to the
http://mimesniff.spec.whatwg.org/ spec, and that the implementation must reject
buffers that do not pass that content sniffing.

This will help in situations like
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=861187, where one implementation
(Gecko) cannot sniff the content type properly but another (WebKit) can.
