Use Web Audio API to instantiate samples once and play performantly #19

Closed morgant closed 2 years ago

morgant commented 2 years ago

The current Audio media element sound playback implementation causes major performance issues on iOS/iPadOS (see Issue #18). This PR migrates sound playback to the newer Web Audio API, resolving the playback & performance issues on iOS, and should be much more efficient on all platforms as the .wav files are only loaded once.

Note: It does require newer browser versions (though the Web Audio API has been around for a while now) and breaks audio when loaded via file:/// URI due to CORS errors.

No complaints and it's working well for me, so merged.
