The spec says: "Note that the default values for loopStart and loopEnd are both 0, which indicates that looping should occur from the very start to the very end of the buffer. " According to this, WebKit's behavior in this test case <http://people.mozilla.org/~eakhgari/webaudio/loop-webkitbug.html> is wrong. The looping sound when pressing both the first and second buttons should be the same.

I can reproduce this in Chrome Canary, but it seems like WebKit Nightly cannot decode ogg files, so I cannot run the test there.

Furthermore, the spec says: "in loop mode will continue playing until it reaches the actualLoopEnd position in the buffer (or the end of the buffer), at which point it will wrap back around to the actualLoopStart position in the buffer, and continue playing according to this pattern", which seems to suggest that the duration argument should be completely ignored in looping mode.

Let me have a look. There may be some work in the spec we need to do.
