>Description:
There is some kind of regression affecting microphone recording in
recent Firefox releases. Samples are returned, but it's noisy and
has basically gone to shit.
Observations:
- Silence is being inserted between samples. It looks like there is some
disagreement about the audio parameters somewhere.
- As far as I can tell from the cubeb test suite, there is no
regression, so the problem is not obviously with the underlying
audio library but something else is happening elsewhere.
- Firefox recently added a new API for measuring input latency, they
also added a NULL implementation of this for NetBSD. Possibly the
problem, or not.
I will investigate further until I get too frustrated.
>How-To-Repeat:
I'm using this test page:
https://webaudiodemos.appspot.com/AudioRecorder/index.html
It seems to monitor for samples correctly? Very strange.
>Fix:
downgrade firefox, cry
