We use webaudio api and a modified omnitone. We use up to third order and can play wav, aac-lc and opus on most platforms.
We have thought to use multitrack mp4/m4a with 2 × 8 channels with libfdk heAAC which is the best available AAC-He codec for private persons , but it also have a 8 channel limit. The fetch and audio buffer is handled as they are in the mp4 container. But we do not have the knowledge to write the code to use WAAPI transport functions, and feed them into the decoder. We use the built in os codecs for all platforms. IOS has the most limitations.
