So I got worker decoding working YAY! Chrome plays buttery smoother audio as of [31d07fb] no stutters or anything. And now we have Firefox bugs to deal with. Firefox 8 doesn't support XHR array buffer responses inside Web Workers (let alone not supporting local hosted workers at all)... Both of those issues are fixed in Aurora but I keep getting buffer underflow errors from Sink.js. So perhaps we should only do the worker thing in Chrome and keep everything in the main thread for Firefox? What do you think.

Living on the cutting edge is ugly sometimes. :(
