I’m interested in using the Web Audio API. Unfortunately my audio files are are all in an esoteric format that Chrome can’t decode. (They’re .wavs, but sampled at 96 kHz with 32-bit float encoding.)
Is there any way for me to query my browser (Chrome) to find out exactly which audio formats and encodings it supports?
UPDATE
I’ve found a list of file formats supported by Chrome here: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/audio-video
You could test this sort of thing by trying to load a variety of sample files using a
try...catchconstruct, and seeing which filetypes load and which don’t. See this tutorial for loading files with the Web Audio API in Chrome.
