Web audio API allowed?
In a collab I'm in, someone found a way to play sounds with an HTML library. It is using the web audio API, but the guidelines state that sound is only allowed with the web audio API oscilator. Would this be allowed?

Hi Electric Dolphin,
Users should only be creating sounds using the pre-defined sound files or the Web Audio API. As long as the properties/methods are not explicitly blocked (e.g. you can access them in a straightforward way), then you should be able to use them in the webpage environment.
The main issue here is that we don't want users to be able to import sounds from external sources, since this could lead to inappropriate music or copyrighted sound files being reproduced. So if a particular aspect of the Web Audio API is explicitly blocked by the editor, then this isn't something that should be used or circumvented.
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions!
