I don't believe we can implement the algorithm in the spec properly until Bug 1265393 is fixed.

Any plans to implement this? Chrome shipped cancelAndHoldAtTime in M57.

It's needed to create professional quality envelopes for synthesizers and samplers. Without it, anytime an envelope is stopped mid-stage, we have to use cancelScheduledValues, which introduces a glitch/pop into the audio.

The behaviour is not clear yet on a spec level. Discussion is happening at https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues/1791. Once settled, we'll get it implemented.

Any progress on this? I see you guys settled on spec 2.

friendly bump!

this is a very handy feature, saves a lot of headache when aborting ramps, for instance.
