It should be defined what happens when type is set to CUSTOM, presumably INVALID_STATE_ERR should be thrown. 93144 1 giles 2013-09-08 00:04:41 +0000 INVALID_STATE_ERR makes sense in that type='custom' can't be set without a corresponding PeriodicWave object to use in generating the data. However, typically setting a WebIDL enum to an invalid value just fails silently. That strikes me as less surprising, although it's no easier to handle in our implementation. The text could be clarified: The shape of the periodic waveform. Any of the defined OscillatorType enum values may be assigned to select the corresponding waveform. The exception is "custom", which is a special value only set by the setPeriodicWave() method. Assignment of any other value is silently ignored. The default value is "sine". 113876 2 olivier.thereaux 2014-10-28 17:13:54 +0000 Web Audio API issues have been migrated to Github.
