This is an AudioNode representing the final audio destination and is what the user will ultimately hear. It can be considered as an audio output device which is connected to speakers. All rendered audio to be heard will be routed to this node, a "terminal" node in the AudioContext's routing graph. There is only a single AudioDestinationNode per AudioContext, provided through the destination attribute of AudioContext.
numberOfInputs : 1 numberOfOutputs : 0
The AudioContext which owns this AudioNode.
The maximum number of channels that the numberOfChannels attribute can be set to. An AudioDestinationNode representing the audio hardware end-point (the normal case) can potentially output more than 2 channels of audio if the audio hardware is multi-channel. maxNumberOfChannels is the maximum number of channels that this hardware is capable of supporting. If this value is 0, then this indicates that maxNumberOfChannels may not be changed. This will be the case for an AudioDestinationNode in an OfflineAudioContext.
The number of channels of the destination's input. This value will default to 2, and may be set to any non-zero value less than or equal to maxNumberOfChannels. An exception will be thrown if this value is not within the valid range. Giving a concrete example, if the audio hardware supports 8-channel output, then we may set numberOfChannels to 8, and render 8-channels of output.
The number of inputs feeding into the AudioNode. This will be 0 for an AudioSourceNode.
The number of outputs coming out of the AudioNode. This will be 0 for an AudioDestinationNode.
Connects the AudioNode to another AudioNode.
It is possible to connect an AudioNode output to more than one input with multiple calls to connect(). Thus, "fanout" is supported.
It is possible to connect an AudioNode to another AudioNode which creates a cycle. In other words, an AudioNode may connect to another AudioNode, which in turn connects back to the first AudioNode. This is allowed only if there is at least one DelayNode in the cycle or an exception will be thrown.
There can only be one connection between a given output of one specific node and a given input of another specific node. Multiple connections with the same termini are ignored. For example:
nodeA.connect(nodeB);
nodeA.connect(nodeB);
will have the same effect as
nodeA.connect(nodeB);
the AudioNode to connect to.
an index describing which output of the AudioNode from which to connect. An out-of-bound value throws an exception.
an index describing which input of the destination AudioNode to connect to. An out-of-bound value throws an exception.
Connects the AudioNode to an AudioParam, controlling the parameter value with an audio-rate signal.
It is possible to connect an AudioNode output to more than one AudioParam with multiple calls to connect(). Thus, "fanout" is supported.
It is possible to connect more than one AudioNode output to a single AudioParam with multiple calls to connect(). Thus, "fanin" is supported.
An AudioParam will take the rendered audio data from any AudioNode output connected to it and convert it to mono by down-mixing if it is not already mono, then mix it together with other such outputs and finally will mix with the intrinsic parameter value (the value the AudioParam would normally have without any audio connections), including any timeline changes scheduled for the parameter.
There can only be one connection between a given output of one specific node and a specific AudioParam. Multiple connections with the same termini are ignored. For example:
nodeA.connect(param);
nodeA.connect(param);
will have the same effect as
nodeA.connect(param);
the AudioParam to connect to.
an index describing which output of the AudioNode from which to connect. An out-of-bound value throws an exception.
Disconnects an AudioNode's output.
an index describing which output of the AudioNode to disconnect. An out-of-bound value throws an exception.
