I’m using the Web Audio API for the first time in years, and I’m surprised at state it’s in.

I think it’ll work ok for my very simple use-case, but it’s been a mess trying to read up on it.

The documentation is all over the place, much of it is out of date, and the interfaces (e.g. the node constructors) seem to be stuck in the middle of a rewrite.

The Web Audio dev tool in Firefox was deprecated 8 years ago, and I can’t get the built-in Chromium one to work (it doesn’t show any context node visualizations). I also can’t get the official Google dev tools browser extension to work in FF or Chrome.

Is this API being starved of resources, or am I misreading the situation?
