hi jonathan, i will let sebastian comment on this more directly (and accurately) but last i recall webpd used sink.js and he definitely wanted to transition to web audio fully. looks like he's well into the process of this transition based on the github page...
i would personally not worry about making it work with Mozilla's Audio Data API. it has basically been abandoned by Mozilla in favor of Web Audio, although it's a bit of a slow transition. Web audio is already available in their Aurora beta browser, though i believe the code has to enable it first. by next year this time i believe Firefox will fully transition to Web Audio and everyone will be on the same page.

Hi list, A few questions:
Where is pdpedia? Is it dead?
With webpd: does it ignore objects that won't create? Two
reasons: a) it would make it possible for me to integrate webpd into a future Pdpedia and have it work (more or less) for the help patches of internal objects b) that would seem to fit the spirit of a web API
- Does webpd use both Mozilla's audio api and webkit's web audio API? A
demo patch seemed to work ok in Mozilla nightly build without any tweak, which was nice.
I think I can get a kind of "Frankenstein" improved Pdpedia going:
- there's a canvas-to-svg tcl program that I can use to get svgs of
every PDDP help patch.
- get Pdpedia to insert webpd script link in each page, then all I need is
some sort of play/pause controls and a good number of the signal help patches should be able to produce sound
- maybe insert a link for the Pd patch source
Then even without javascript enabled, someone should be able to browse online and see the patch, and even cut and paste some text from it on Chrome.
Ideally, the svg generation would be automated so we could update/fix help patches and the corresponding svg would get the updates.
