1. Discussion of issues that are being proposed to move to v.next

mdjp: joe and I talked earlier today to talk about how to enable us to get to CR. The general feeling was to get to a place where we've identified the issues are either true blockers or are resolvable within a short fixed timeframe
... the key thing as we go thru isssues is to identify either as V1 blocker or as resolvable in this short window
... I have 4 issues. The first isss.

<mdjp> https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues/13

padenot: question is, can we make a good NoiseGate based on the new Dynamics Compressor design
... for example, the compressor algorithm might behave as a noisegate purely based on parameter values without the need for a separate node

mdjp: is that the case that we have a compressor node that can be documented as behaving like a noise gate under certain conditions?

padenot: yes. and it's possible that it would work without doing too much
... this is something that we can get determined fairly quickly
... if we modify Firefox to honor ratios < 0 we might find out fairly quickly whether this is possible

mdjp: can we do this before the next call?

padenot: to determine whether doable?
... feeling in the audio group at Firefox right now isthat the compressor is a bit too complex
... we could have agreed on this if hongchan were here

mdjp: then by the next call we can establish whether this is doable?

padenot: yes
... if it doesn't go in, then AudioWorklet provides a fallback

<mdjp> https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues/833

padenot: Bikeshed is a more recent version of ReSpec. But it uses a different IDL dialect. So we'd need to convert to a different way of doing things
... quite boring and long to do
... apparently there was some movement to move towards Bikeshed, but we're not blocked necessarily.

mdjp: does this have to be done for V1?

padenot: not really, no. we should do it when things have stabilized more

<mdjp> https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues/1079

joe: we're planning to loop this back to hongchan so we can review. padenot is concerned that we need more specificity here

<mdjp> https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues/1098

padenot: for now, we will defer this

#1089 https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues/1089

padenot: we're waiting for a response on the proposal I made

mdjp: I agree that going with the SMPTE ordering makes the most sense

3. Review any outstanding V1 WG Review issues

<mdjp> https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3A%22Web+Audio+V1%22+label%3A%22Needs+WG+review%22

<ghaudiobot> [web-audio-api] joeberkovitz pushed 1 new commit to 1050-mono-4chan-diagram: https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/commit/e0ad4e3f48bf6d2887d42bfe29bba3268a676561

<ghaudiobot> web-audio-api/1050-mono-4chan-diagram e0ad4e3 joeberkovitz: fix image size and reference in spec

padenot: we can remove the review label from 1116, 1120

<mdjp> https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues/1117

<mdjp> https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues/1105

#rtoy: disallowing zero as a ref distance has a problem with incompatibility with OpenAL

rtoy: disallowing zero as a ref distance has a problem with incompatibility with OpenAL

mdjp: depends on how wide the problem is

rtoy: since there's a bug and a Slack mention of this, apparently it's a thing

mdjp: if we don't revert the change, then how many people are unhappy?

joe: can we revert to zero to make this go away?
... and spec a floor value for the other models?

rtoy: let's propose that and see what he says

mdjp: rtoy, can you handle that conversation?

rtoy: yes

<mdjp> https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues/1099

mdjp: do we want to refer this back to cwilso to get clarification?

rtoy: I'll ping cwilso and if there's no answer then we can close this

<mdjp> https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues/95

padenot: I'll review this quickly now that I'm back
