When switching tab playback is messed #6

Because Chrome has one setTimeout() per second limitation. Probably try workers? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5927284/how-can-i-make-setinterval-also-work-when-a-tab-is-inactive-in-chrome/5927432#12522580

I've got a solution! Just slow down tempo... maybe 8x - so that smallest possible interval was 1 second... nda. Maybe better slow down 12x (or 6x... 1/4/3 * 6 = 1/2 = 2 seconds) so triplets were good too

The last solution is lame primarily because firefox, for example, does not handle timeouts of inactive tabs at all. What probably will be good - stop playback when tab looses the focus and continue when focus returns.

probably one day i'll do an optional checkbox for workers instead of setTimeout
