i’ve been playing with building games in the browser for the past few months and although the rapidly-improving implementations and webgl are making it really easy to display pretty things, the sound support inside the browser sucks. only recently have people started working on solutions to getting audio out from pages that don’t involve plugins, but they are all focused around non-gaming scenarios (where timing, scalability, and other factors don’t matter). for the more advanced apis coming out (such as [web audio] they use large, cumbersome graphs that may work well for setting up static audio scenes but don’t fit in to immediate-mode games. having had some experience with openal on the iphone, i decided to bring the api over to the browser. i primarily want it for sound effects although it could be used for music as well. because there is a non-trivial bit of overhead doing the processing in javascript it’s best used for short, transient sounds. my goal is to have a little library with a clean api that works on most browsers (including older ones using fallbacks) to use in games. my dream would be to actually get the spec published like webgl _. currently only firefox 4 provides an api that allows for this project to work 100% natively in the
