1kB polyfill for AudioWorklet.
audioworklet-polyfill is a tiny JavaScript library that brings AudioWorklet support to all major browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. It uses ScriptProcessorNode under the hood, and runs your Worklet code in an isolated scope on the main thread (read why).

<!-- or: -->

import 'audioworklet-polyfill';... or with ES Modules on the web:
import('https://unpkg.com/audioworklet-polyfill/dist/audioworklet-polyfill.js');- Improve support for custom parameters
This polyfill is intended to be a bridging solution until AudioWorklet is implemented across all browsers. It's an improvement over ScriptProcessorNode even though that's what it uses under the hood, because code written using this polyfill is forwards-compatible: as native support improves, your application improves. This polyfill offers a simple, future-proof alternative to ScriptProcessorNode without introducing Workers or relying on shared memory.
@jariseon has implemented a similar polyfill that uses Web Workers for audio processing.
