Web Audio Api: Proper way to play data chunks from a nodejs server via socket

Question

I\'m using the following code to decode audio chunks from nodejs\'s socket

window.AudioContext = window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext;
var contex         


        

Answer 1

You can take this code as an example: https://github.com/kmoskwiak/node-tcp-streaming-server

It basically uses media source extensions. All you need to do is to change from video to audio

buffer = mediaSource.addSourceBuffer('audio/mpeg');

Answer 2

yes @Keyne is right,

const mediaSource = new MediaSource()
const sourceBuffer = mediaSource.addSourceBuffer('audio/mpeg')
player.src = URL.createObjectURL(mediaSource)
sourceBuffer.appendBuffer(chunk) // Repeat this for each chunk as ArrayBuffer
player.play()

But do this only if you don't care about IOS support
