An integer representing the number of audio channels.

bitrate Optional

An integer representing the bitrate.

Return value

None (undefined).

TypeError

Thrown if the provided config is invalid.

InvalidStateError DOMException

  error: (e) => {
    console.log(e.message);
  },
};

let config = {
  codec: "opus",
  sampleRate: 44100,
  numberOfChannels: 2,

};

let encoder = new AudioEncoder(init);
encoder.configure(config);
