Bug 96644 – Issue with convolver node usage in webkit2:webAudio API

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: Web Audio

[kdj]

Hi,

I was trying to run few WebAudio API applications from chrome site; especially for convolverNode.

App name: Digital DJ 
Link: http://chromium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/samples/audio/dj.html
This application did not work properly, for small fraction the audio came and further the silence played out.

After removing the convolverNode; referring the lines in application.
...
line no.: 386: //convolver.connect(preCompressorGain);
...
line no.: 397: //setReverbImpulseResponse('impulse-responses/filter-rhythm2.wav');
...

The application worked perfectly :-) 

To investigate further, with enabled convolverNode and I added data dump logs in following places at same time:
1. ConvolverNode::process() for input(0)->bus(), to check input to convolverNode.
2. webKitWebAudioSrcLoop(), for (const_cast<float*>(priv->bus->channel(index)->data())).

The data for 1. is complete silence whereas for 2. it is proper convoluted stream.

Here it seems that the WebAudio API convolverNode has issue before connecting to other node. 
I tried to other application which are using ConvolverNode; result is same "for small fraction the audio came and further the silence played out".

Please share your views.

Thanks and regards,

That demo works fine here with your patch from bug 95833. Without that patch I can hear the pop noise glitches of bug 82347 (so I'll close the last as dupe of the first btw).

Tested with a 64-bit release build of webkitgtk.

Should we close this one?

[kdj]

Good it is working on 64-bit !

I have tested with 32-bit machine.

Could you please share your 64-bit release details on which it is working. So that I can try for the same one at my end.

Is it OK to take tar ball "WebKit r128500" ?

Thanks,
kdj

[Philippe Normand]

What kind of details about my setup do you need?

[kdj]

I am getting this error with WebKit r128500:

  CXX    Source/JavaScriptCore/Programs_jsc_3-jsc.o
  CXX    Source/WebKit2/gtk/Programs_WebKitWebProcess-MainGtk.o

make: *** [all] Error 2

I tried with this path:  http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30653

Could you please tell/guide the exact patch for the same ?

[Philippe Normand]

If you do build-webkit --gtk --update-gtk it should work. Please join #webkitgtk+ if you have build issues, bugzilla is not the best place to discuss about that.

[kdj]

Ok, I registered to #webkitgtk+ and able to build on 64bit webkitGtk with webaudio.
I tried to run the same app link. But not able to hear the audio. 

Please tell me anything more you are doing at your end.

Have you set the AUDIO_RESOURCES_PATH env variable to point to .../Source/WebCore/platform/audio/resources ?

[kdj]

yes, after setting same Env var, Convolver node is working; thanks philippe.
