I've been playing with the Web Audio API and I'm trying to load multiple parts of a song and append them to a new ArrayBuffer and then use that ArrayBuffer for playing all the parts as one song. In the following example I am using the same song data (which is a small loop) instead of different parts of a song.

The problem is that it still plays just once instead of two times and I don't know why.

Download song

function init() {

  /**
   * Appends two ArrayBuffers into a new one.
   * 
   * @param {ArrayBuffer} buffer1 The first buffer.
   * @param {ArrayBuffer} buffer2 The second buffer.
   */
  function appendBuffer(buffer1, buffer2) {
    var tmp = new Uint8Array(buffer1.byteLength + buffer2.byteLength);
    tmp.set( new Uint8Array(buffer1), 0);
    tmp.set( new Uint8Array(buffer2), buffer1.byteLength);
    return tmp;
  }

  /**
   * Loads a song
   * 
   * @param {String} url The url of the song.
   */
  function loadSongWebAudioAPI(url) {
    var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
    var context = new webkitAudioContext();

    request.open('GET', url, true);
    request.responseType = 'arraybuffer';

    /**
     * Appends two ArrayBuffers into a new one.
     * 
     * @param {ArrayBuffer} data The ArrayBuffer that was loaded.
     */
    function play(data) {
      // Concatenate the two buffers into one.
      var a = appendBuffer(data, data);
      var buffer = a.buffer;
      var audioSource = context.createBufferSource();
      audioSource.connect(context.destination);

      //decode the loaded data
      context.decodeAudioData(buffer, function(buf) {
        console.log('The buffer', buf);
        audioSource.buffer = buf;
        audioSource.noteOn(0);
        audioSource.playbackRate.value = 1;
      });

    };

    // When the song is loaded asynchronously try to play it.
    request.onload = function() {
      play(request.response);
    }

    request.send();
  }
