Update from deprecated API: AudioContext.createScriptProcessor()

[trevordilley]

Hi Chris, we have a client who would like switch over to your recorder as their main recording tool. The one snag is they're uncomfortable that the recorder uses this:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/BaseAudioContext/createScriptProcessor

Which appears to be deprecated? Currently they're using the Twilio but would like to use something simpler (they just need to record a single voice recording and upload it to their servers, so Twilio is kinda overkill)

We know this would be a non-trivial effort and would be happy to follow up and discussing bidding it out. You can contact me directly at trevor@twentyideas.com if you want to talk more!

Specifically here:

opus-recorder/src/recorder.js

Line 101 in f3fe542

this.scriptProcessorNode = this.audioContext.createScriptProcessor( this.config.bufferLength, this.config.numberOfChannels, this.config.numberOfChannels );

@trevordilley deprecating createScriptProcessor() sounds reasonable. Just FYI for your client, that making this change will require dropping support for iOS and Safari on mac.

"dropping support for iOS and Safari " seems a shame since they are the main reasons this exists!
