You go to e.g. MDN, look at the API, and write a series of import classes.

This looks like a good starting point:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Audio_AP

If it was standard on all browsers (it is not on IE), then we could add it to
web.pas. But since IE does not support it,  the classes can then be added 
to a new units websound.pas.

The WIKI page of pas2js contains a rudimentary example that explains the
principle of an import class.

There is a demo (democlasstopas) that helps you to create a skeleton definition, 
I will add some documentation to the WIKI or maybe make it into a unit.

If you need help, mail me in private and I will do a few sample conversions.

Michael.
