As of this week I intend to turn on AudioWorklet by default for all platforms. It has been developed behind the "dom.audioworklet.enabled" and "dom.worklet.enabled" preferences.
Status in other browsers is: Chrome, Opera: shipping. Edge, Webkit: not shipping, intentions unknown. Product: Adam Stevenson Bug to turn on by default: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1616725 This feature was previously discussed in this "Intent to implement" thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/mozilla.dev.platform/EtjfqRd9FI0/30DfQ3c6DgAJ =Target release This feature was enabled by default on Nightly from the 20200331093527 build. Nightly is now 77, but there is demand for this feature including some WFH benefits from one service provider, and so we are looking to uplift the pref switch to 76. =AudioNode lifetime interoperability The issue mentioned in the intent to implement post regarding observability of garbage collection through [AudioNode lifetimes] and interoperability with Chrome has been satisfactorily resolved by hiding the observability of AudioNode lifetimes. Chrome has modified their implementation in line with this resolution. =import Gecko's AudioWorklet implementation does not yet include support for static import of nested scripts. The lack of support shows up as rejection of the promise returned from Worklet#addModule(). (Worklets simply do not support dynamic import.) =Stability The specification is expected to be stable except for the nature of [parameters] passed to the client process() callback. The `inputs` and `outputs` parameters each have a `length` attribute and an indexed property getter, and the `parameters` parameter has a named property getter. This much is stable. There is ongoing discussion regarding whether the underlying JS Objects are frozen and whether Float32Array property values can be transferred via MessagePort#postMessage().
