== Abstract ==
The Web Audio API (webaudio) describes a high-level JavaScript API for processing and synthesizing audio in web applications. The primary paradigm is of an audio routing graph, where a number of AudioNode objects are connected together to define the overall audio rendering. The actual processing will primarily take place in the underlying implementation (typically optimized Assembly / C / C++ code), but direct JavaScript processing and synthesis is also supported
== Current Status in Firefox ==
Firefox currently supports the incompatible, Mozilla-speicific [[Audio Data API]], but it is marked as "deprecated" in favor of the W3C standard. Work has not yet started on the new Web Audio API. The Bugzilla [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779297 bug 779297] was created to track progress on this standard.
== Additional Resources ==
* The work on this API is available in Mozilla [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779297 bug 779297].
* Current W3C Editor's Draft of [https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/audio/raw-file/tip/webaudio/specification.html Web Audio API]
