Curiously, reading through Web Audio API bug tracker find items such as https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues/1305 https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues/1305 and https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues/938 https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues/938, that echo the point from the article quite well. Oh dear..

The huge set of deficiencies in this API were communicated to the designers from the very beginning, and unfortunately most of them went unresolved for a long time (or indefinitely). It's a real bummer. For a while there was a huge footgun that made it easy to synchronously decode entire mp3 files on the ui thread by accident. Oops (: Even better, for a while there was no straightforward way to pause playback of a buffer. It took a while for the spec people to come around on that one, because they insisted it wasn't necessary.
