== Defining an Enhanced API for Audio (Draft Recommendation) ==
===== Abstract =====
The continuing work on this specification and API can be tracked here, and in [[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490705 the bug]. Comments, feedback, and collaboration are all welcome. You can reach the authors on irc in the [irc://irc.mozilla.org/audio #audio channel] on irc.mozilla.org.
===== Version =====
This is the second major version of this API--the previous version is available here. The primary improvements and changes are:
* Removal of mozSpectrum (i.e., native FFT calculation)
* Use of so called WebGL Arrays (i.e., fast, typed, native float arrays) for the event framebuffer as well as mozWriteAudio().
* Native array interfaces instead of using accessors and IDL array arguments.
* No zero padding of audio data occurs anymore. All frames are exactly 4096 elements in length.
Demos written for the previous version are '''not''' compatible, though can be made to be quite easily. See details below.
