Description Marcus Geelnard (Opera) 2012-06-19 08:30:43 UTC 
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/audio/raw-file/tip/webaudio/specification.html#ConvolverNode

Currently, the number of output channels of the ConvolverNode is controlled by the number of output channels of the AudioContext (although it's not very clear in the spec).

I think it would be a better idea to be able to control the number of output channels of the ConvolverNode upon construction rather than relying on the AudioDestinationNode.

It would give you more freedom to do custom processing, and makes the actual usage of the impulse response channels much more user controllable.

The last point is important, since the number of output channels controls which matrixing operation will be used.
