How would you emulate end via JavaScript in a reasonably accurate
manner? If I have a WAV audio file and I want to start and stop
between specific points? For example a transcript of the audio may
provide the ability to play a particular section of the transcript.
So if we keep the 'start' and 'end' attributes and have a simple boolean
'loop' attribute that indicates if looping should happen or not that
would still be possible.
The problem with relying on cues is that audio plays a lot faster than
we can gurentee that cue-callbacks will happen. So if you for example
create a audio file with a lot of sound effects back to back it is
possible that a fraction of a second of the next sound will play before
the cue-callback is able to stop it.
