Web Audio API for live streaming?

I wrote a streaming Web Audio API system where I used web workers to do all the web socket management to communicate with node.js such that the browser thread simply renders audio ... works just fine on laptops, since mobiles are behind on their implementation of web sockets inside web workers you need no less than lollipop for it to run as coded ... I posted full source code here

Yes, the Web Audio API (along with AJAX or Websockets) can be used for streaming.

Basically, you pull down (or send, in the case of Websockets) some chunks of n length. Then you decode them with the Web Audio API and queue them up to be played, one after the other.

Because the Web Audio API has high-precision timing, you won't hear any "seams" between the playback of each buffer if you do the scheduling correctly.
