• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Web Audio

[Ryosuke Niwa]

OfflineAudioDestinationNode::startRendering calls ref() unconditionally
but offlineRender() calls deref() conditionally.

Nit: looks like this isn't necessary.

Instead of ref/deref, could the thread lambda take a protectedThis=makeRef(*this) and move protectedThis to the callOnMainThread lambda below?
That will make it clear that 'this' is protected and ref/deref count is always ok.

That's a bit dangerous since OfflineAudioDestinationNode is not thread-safe ref counted. We need to very carefully copy & not copy things in each lambdas.

Indeed. Removed.
