Howler.js: Google Chrome deprecation warnings.

[tammesalu]

Google Chrome is giving me following warnings when I use Howler in my project:

howler.js:2213 [Deprecation] GainNode.gain.value setter smoothing is deprecated and will be removed in M64, around January 2018. Please use setTargetAtTime() instead if smoothing is needed. See https://www.chromestatus.com/features/5287995770929152 for more details.

[Deprecation] AudioParam value setter will become equivalent to AudioParam.setValueAtTime() in M65, around March 2018 See https://webaudio.github.io/web-audio-api/#dom-audioparam-value for more details.

Does anyone know what are those warnings and can they be addressed in Howlers code?

It is only a couple of weeks left until January, so is it possible to have this fix released to NPM?

This just got pushed to npm in 2.0.6.

Great, thanks!

I'm still getting the following deprecation warning in 2.0.7

[Deprecation] AudioParam value setter will become equivalent to AudioParam.setValueAtTime() in M65, around March 2018 See https://webaudio.github.io/web-audio-api/#dom-audioparam-value for more details.

It appears that 0b538a7 only addressed the issue with GainNode.gain.value but the issues with rate still exist.

The culprit is here:
sound._node.bufferSource.playbackRate.value = sound._rate;

This should probably also be updated:
sound._node.bufferSource.playbackRate.value = rate;

@Stenerson Thanks! Just fixed this with dc0a2cf8d2c0ca17246573de90c7f95f6991438d and will try to get a 2.0.8 release out soon.

Is the first warning a breaking change?

"GainNode.gain.value setter smoothing is deprecated and will be removed in M64"

I've just updated to M64 and, though I still get the warning, the audio still works.

Edit: I've looked into it and as far as I can see, it's not a breaking change, it just means that the Gain will be set immediately instead of smoothly (unless setTargetTime is used instead). If that's so, I can live with that and just update projects as other changes are made.

[Deprecation] AudioParam value setter will become equivalent to AudioParam.setValueAtTime() in M65, around March 2018 See https://webaudio.github.io/web-audio-api/#dom-audioparam-value for more details.

The error is in reference to sound._node.bufferSource.playbackRate.value = sound._rate; within the _refreshBuffer function.

EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't see the update.

@DFortun81 That was fixed in v2.0.8.

[DFortun81]

Yeah, sorry. I didn't see the update.
