WebAudio Playback: AudioContext currenttime is always 0 on some mobile devices

[Jon Grant]

After moving to Flambe 4, WebAudio context currenttime is staying at 0 on iOS.  

iPad iOS 6

Chrome - No Audio

Safari - Audio after touch evert

iPad iOS8

Chrome - No Audio

Safari - No Audio

Kindle fire - Audio

iPod Touch 5 with iOS 7 - Audio

Any ideas?

Fixed!

The problem was the iPad restriction on playing sounds until a user input plays a sound.  WE have buttons that have click sounds, but for this project we hadn't put them in yet.  Once I added a click sound everything was back to normal.

I also had to add @:keep to button subclasses to keep DCE from removing my constructors.

In the end, I have our applications now fire a silent (actually a file with no audio, not a sound at zero volume - the sound must have a non-zero volume!)  sound on the first user mouse down.  Voila!  Audio on the iPad

Thank you for posting the solution, Jon! This saved me a lot of time.
