how to include the "light" version of this module? #9

@mohayonao thanks for another great module!

I have some usage questions:

the difference between the "light" and full versions is the light one excludes the audio worker compiler?
I'm wondering how I would use the light version in my code via requiring it? ( I don't use global scripts in my current front end; I use browserify to generate a bundle)
If I'm using the light version, does that mean I need to compile whatever worker js file gets passed to the audioworker instance myself ahead of time?

"full version" use audio-worker-compiler. "light version" does not use it.

audio-worker-compiler append an implicit self.

source:

onmessage = () => {};

compiled:

self.onmessage = () => {};

In light version, you must write self. yourself.

BTW, AudioWorker is deprecated in the recent Web Audio API specification. So, I think this module is useless no longer.

I was able to use the light version like this:

require('audio-worker-shim/light').polyfill()

// at this point you can create new audio workers as long as
// the source is compiled ahead of time with audio-worker-compiler

It's deprecated, intended to be placed with AudioWorklet, that's true.

But none of the browsers have implemented this yet. Until then this seems like a reasonable module to use. :)
