API

var RangeDecoder = require('audio-buffer-range-decoder')

var decodeRange = RangeDecoder(filePath, options, onLoad)

onLoad(err, meta) is called when meta data has loaded.

Returns a decodeRange function.

Options:

• fs: pass in fs implementation (required)
• audio: instance of AudioContext to use for decoding (required)

decodeRange(startTime, duration, callback)

Pass in startTime and duration in seconds. callback(err, audioBuffer) will be called when data has been decoded or an error has occurred.

decodeRange.close()

Call this when you are done reading to close the underlying file descriptor.
