Is it possible to make Mediaelement.js optimized to play audio only, without having class for video, youtube, vimeo? Because it may optimize loading time for websites that only use audio.

I'm currently working on an application that uses the AudioContext api to control audio for both video clips and background audio. We would like to use the AudioContext (and therefore MediaElementAudioSourceNodes) so we can make adjustments to the audio programmatically.
Because the application is syncing up media to a timeline, this often means adjusting the playbackRate of the media element to catch up. In Chrome, this works fine: you adjust playbackRate and the media speeds up or slows down accordingly. Now in Safari, any audio piped through a MediaElementAudioSourceNode will not respect the changed media playbackRate, playing the audio at normal speed and will then sputter out after a few seconds. (Safari audio will respect the playbackRate when played directly from the media element, notably without pitch correction, but that is a separate, known, issue)
Here's a CodeSandbox that replicates the issue. The first player on the page will play audio back coming directly from the HTMLMediaElement, where as the second player will pipe it through a MediaElementAudioSourceNode.
We've tried a couple other avenues, such as using an AudioBufferSourceNode for the audio source, but due to the size of clip we're often working with, this is not a desired avenue. If at all possible, we would like to still use the AudioContext api for both Chrome and Safari as well.
Recently, I discover that my tutorial videos could be seen at 1.5x playback speed without losses in quality (they are actually better to see, as I normally speak slowly). My problem is that if I change the speed of the video when using a video editor, like Kdenlive, the audio becomes distorted and turns into a mess (higher pitch, I believe).
How could I obtain the same quality as VLC "playback fast" and Youtube "playback speed 1.5" for the audio track? I'm a layman in audio/video editing, so I'm also satisfied with partial answers, like the identification of which terms I should search for in this case.
It might be better to take your audio track and use something like Sound Forge to automatically remove silence. Just be sure to add a pad to that (built into sound forge) otherwise the speech will sound way to chopped and fast.
Aside from that, you could also use Vegas to (then) chop the video to keep pace with your new speech rate. Vegas is a video editing program that is best for this kind of down and dirty editing.
I need to make a video of an audio equalizer.
So i need a script that analyses audio every frame, and extracts the frequency apectrum so i can draw that somehow and make an equalizer.
The first part of the problem is easily solvable on frontend as there is a myriad of open source equalizer visualisations in canvas.
The thing works nicely in browser but i have a problem to make an mp4 of that.
Ive tried using headless browsers(pupeteer and phantomjs) to capture frames from canvas, but i could not get the framerate above 10fps, resulting in unacceptable video quality and sync issues when connecting the jpg frames and mp3 via ffmpeg. The plan was to speed it up, so you dont have to wait for the full audio length to finish to get an mp4, but i cant even get it to show above 10fps on regular playback speed.
I feel the tech i thought would work is not there yet, and i might be in need of a different approach.
The only condition is that it has to run as a script on a linux server. So any programmimg language or any equalizer design will work.
Any ideas or resources are more than welcome. Thanks
I would like to build a gapless audio player in html5. The end of the currently playing song should overlap the following one so that there is no pause between them. Conventional gapless players in html5 are not reliable:
Some say : Gapless playback cannot be reliably implemented using HTML5 Audio. There is always going to be an inherent pause between songs. The only way I could simulate gapless playback is by using two HTML5 audio objects, but I would never be able to perfect the timing between the two objects on all devices. So sometimes the songs would play with no gap, sometimes there would be a gap, and sometimes the audio from two consecutive songs would overlap.

I believe I can work-around this problem if html5 can access a MP3 file's ByteArray and play "data generated sound". Do you know if html5 is capable to do that?
Thanks a lot for any feedback.
Unfortunately, at this point HTML doesn't provide any means for accessing raw audio data in the specification. Some browsers (e.g. Firefox, Chrome) provide audio APIs that can accomplish this. But obviously it's not cross browser compliant. This would leave you writing implementations for various browsers and no support for IE.
Having just witnessed Sound Load technology on the Nintendo DS game Bangai-O Spritis. I was curious as to how this technology works? Does anyone have any links, documentation or sample code on implementing such a feature, that would allow the state of an application to be saved and loaded via audio?
Its the same old thing used in ZX Spectrum era. You load programs/games from tape.Only the sound quality and the filters are probably better.
In my opinion something like Bluetooth or WiFi is better. You can also send files that can be put on some storage and then load them. I find these methods much easier than sound because if there is a lot of noise around you cannot do much.
It is just a conversion of data to audio and then back from audio to data.
Search for Zotyocopy and Copy86M on google - these are the utilities used for saving a game to tape after loading it into memory on zx spectrum.
If you want to pass data as audio through the air there are a few things you need to be aware of though, such as how the speaker and microphone interact for example. It is important that they don't distort or alter the sound too much as what you are sending are in fact the raw bytes.
Some audio software will let you open any file as audio so that you may listen to it. If you record audio as data do not use lossy compression such as mp3 on the audio file!
