I use a ms setInterval as the base driver. The rate of the setInterval is not the problem. The problem lies with the fact that setinterval was designed, rightfully so, to skip a call if there was a buildup of delays. Audio gen by this method should never be conducted without audio clok heurisitics as a result of this. Proper audio gen should always check to see the respective buffering levels, as a system can skip a setInterval callback due to unexpected latency. Also some browsers, like google chrome, have A LOT of jitter in their setInterval and skip an unnecessarily large amout of setInterval calls. If I disabled audio clock input, we would be hearing a lot of crackles and pops across the board in every browser if we simply just timed by setInterval.
