getUserMedia audio stream dies after about 5 seconds
After about 5 seconds of working correctly, the audio icon disappears on the address bar and the stream becomes constantly zero.

Chosen solution
After noticing not all web audio apps suffer from this problem, I started digging around, and found this behavior to be related to scoping (!).
Basically - it seems that at least one part of the audio pipeline needs to be global for it to keep on working. For instance, adding
window.horrible_hack_for_mozilla = input;
before " var node =" fixes the behavior.Read this answer in context 👍 3
