Sampler.loadWav performance about audiolib.js

[jussi-kalliokoski]

Yeah, the problem here is the memory speed in JS, a huge amount of time is spent just allocating the buffers (especially for the strings that contain the data). All of the loading should be done asynchronously with XHR, and then the sampler should stream through multiple buffers instead of one big buffer, similarly to how we have done the JS codecs (mp3 alac flac). This would, however, require more advanced SRC features, etc, so it will take some time, but it's on the plan to make it possible to use our codec suite, aurora.js alongside with audiolib.js, so you can load even big samples and in the format you prefer.

So far, on Chrome, the problem is even more escalated, if you try to load a sample too big, the page just freezes.

Ok - thanks for the feedback. I figured that that was the case.
