I'm in favour of limiting the scope of compatibility-affecting changes for the unprefixed AudioContext to those that are either trivial or essential, and setting a hard, short deadline for finalizing that list --- 1-2 weeks. I think that list should be: -- Everything that's already in the spec -- Remove obsolete names. Ehsan will provide the precise list shortly. -- Remove AudioContext.createBuffer(AudioBuffer) -- Fixes to prevent races caused by changes to "live" AudioBuffers. I can provide a proposal for this today, based on what we've already implemented. Promise-based APIs can be added later in addition to the direct-callback APIs, without much pain, so I'd drop them for now. Using constructors instead of factory methods is cosmetic and I don't think it's worth changing those at this point.
