AudioContext.decodeAudioData crashes in Dartium

[alextekartik]

The following code:

    AudioContext audioContext = new AudioContext();
    XMLHttpRequest xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.open("GET", "sample.ogg", true);
    xhr.responseType = "arraybuffer";
    xhr.on.load.add((e) {
      audioContext.decodeAudioData(xhr.response, function(buffer) {
        AudioBufferSourceNode source = audioContext.createBufferSource();
        source.connect(audioContext.destination, 0);
        source.buffer = buffer;
        source.noteOn(0);
      });
    });
    xhr.send();

works fine in Chrome/JS but crashes in Dartium. No error reported as Dartium crashes with a "Aw, Snap!" message.

Tested using DartEditor Build 7323 on Windows 64 bits

I did not attach a sample ogg file.

However the following code works:

    AudioContext audioContext = new AudioContext();
    XMLHttpRequest xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.open("GET", "sample.ogg", true);
    xhr.responseType = "arraybuffer";
    xhr.on.load.add((e) {
      AudioBuffer buffer = audioContext.createBuffer(xhr.response, false);
      AudioBufferSourceNode source = audioContext.createBufferSource();
      source.connect(audioContext.destination, 0);
      source.buffer = buffer;
      source.noteOn(0);
    });
    xhr.send();

So it might be a misused of the API. I was trying to follow the example given in http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webaudio/intro/

Alex, thanks a lot for a report. Crashing is not the answer whatever goes on inside.

Pavel, may you have a look, please?

Works for me with latest Dartium on windows. Could you please check if it still crashes? If yes, please attach sample.ogg.

Hello. I've encountered the same issue here. I'm running in Ubuntu x64.
I'm testing using this code:

    AudioContext audioContext = new AudioContext();
    AudioBufferSourceNode source;

    HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
    request.open("GET", "virus.ogg", async: true);
    request.responseType = "arraybuffer";

    request.onLoad.listen((_){
        print("before decodeAudio");

        audioContext.decodeAudioData(request.response, (buffer){
            print("decoded");

        });
    });

It breaks on the "before decodeAudio". Every audio format I've tried breaks ( the "Aw, Snap!" message. )

Compiling to javascript and running in chrome works.

This bug does apply to Dartium on MacOSX

Dart Editor version 0.5.11_r23200
Dart SDK version 0.5.11.1_r23200

Easy way to test is git clone git://github.com/bp74/StageXL_Escape.git and run in Dartium on MacOSX

I am aware this is an old issue but I'm still having this problem... Dartium can't decode the audio (in Dart SDK 1.7.2) but the Chrome JS version works without problems!

dhubau: if you are still seeing a crash, please file a new bug. closed bugs don't show up on our tracker, even after you reply. :-)

Please let us know if it's a crash as opposed to not being able to handle a particular audio format. Note, Dartium is based on open source Chromium, not Chrome, and neither supports all the formats Chrome does:
