Re: Setting a sample rate in the web audio API

Hi Grant,

With this line:
audioSource.buffer = audioContextHandle.createBuffer(1, 1,
settings[14]); //Create
a zero'd input buffer for the input to be valid.


You're creating a buffer whose length is only 1 sample-frame (the second
argument) which is pretty short!  And from what I understand, you're
ignoring the "audioSource" input.  The sample-rate *is* taken into account
in the "audioSource", it's just that you're ignoring what it's giving you
and generating your own output stream.  The sample-rate of the AudioContext
itself is fixed and is usually going to be the sample-rate of the audio
hardware (such as 44.1KHz).
