--- Comment #1 from Ralph Giles <giles@mozilla.com> ---
INVALID_STATE_ERR makes sense in that type='custom' can't be set without a
corresponding PeriodicWave object to use in generating the data.

However, typically setting a WebIDL enum to an invalid value just fails
silently. That strikes me as less surprising, although it's no easier to handle
in our implementation. The text could be clarified:

The shape of the periodic waveform. Any of the defined OscillatorType enum
values may be assigned to select the corresponding waveform. The exception is
"custom", which is a special value only set by the setPeriodicWave() method.
Assignment of any other value is silently ignored. The default value is "sine".
