Audio-ISSUE-67 (DisablingAudioListener): Disabling AudioListener [Web Audio API]

http://www.w3.org/2011/audio/track/issues/67

Raised by: Philip Jägenstedt
On product: Web Audio API

It's not clear how to disable the AudioListener, to get "normal" pass-through of the audio without any spatial effects applied. It should almost certainly be disabled by default.

I'm not sure what you mean by "without any spatial effects".  In this case, why bother even creating and connecting a PannerNode.

Do you mean a mode where the listener for a particular PannerNode is fixed at a neutral position and the AudioContext listener does not effect the sound?
Comment 2 Philip Jägenstedt 2012-11-15 09:00:37 UTC 
This bug is poorly phrased, but is related to the bug about default values for the AudioListener members, which has already been fixed. The answer is to just set the default values, so this bug can be closed.

Closing based on Philip's feedback
