In a previous post I was explaining how the WebAudio GStreamer backend is implemented in WebKit. What was missing was a nice screencast demonstrating the feature in Epiphany. Thankfully the valiant Mario Sanchez took up the challenge and the result is quite nice:

If the youtube embed code doesn’t …

WebAudio is a JavaScript API for processing and synthesizing audio in web applications. It has been implemented first in Google Chrome and later on in Safari. The intention behind this blog post is to explain how other WebKit ports can support the WebAudio APIs using GStreamer. The WebKit GTK+ port …

We will be a whole Igalia gang hanging out there at Fosdem, looking forward socializing around beers :) Oh …
