Some sounds in the Snap! Offline Editor (the Sounds
directory in the source code) are encoded in a non-standard ADPCM format, which browsers cannot natively decode that causes problems when decoding those sounds:
- Length of sound will say 0:00.
- Playing the sound won't work.
- Getting the samples of the sound yields
EncodingError: Failed to execute 'decodeAudioData' on 'BaseAudioContext': Unable to decode audio data
.
Here are some sounds that are affected by this issue:
- garden
- hey
- hip_hop
I guess that those sounds should be converted to a standard WAV format so browsers can natively decode those sounds.
I hope this could get fixed, highly appreciated.
