(Bugzilla 17393) float/double inconsistency

State:

CLOSED

Product:

Web Audio API

Raised by:

Marcus Geelnard

Opened on:

2012-05-15

Description:

Throughout the spec, there seems to be a preference for using float over double (though some cases of double exists). Suggest only double except for sample format.

As an example, currentTime as a 32-bit float will degrade the precision to less than 1 ms after less than 5 hours, which is uncomfortably close to real-world usage.
