AudioListener setPosition() and setOrientation()

This feature is discouraged — The setPosition() and setOrientation() methods are equivalent to using an AudioListener instances's positionX, positionY, positionZ, forwardX, forwardY, forwardZ, upX, upY, and upZ properties.

Consider using AudioListener instead.

For more information, see: https://webaudio.github.io/web-audio-api/#dom-audiolistener-setposition , https://webaudio.github.io/web-audio-api/#dom-audiolistener-setorientation

The setPosition() and setOrientation() methods of the AudioListener API set the virtual position and orientation of a person relative to sound sources, to spatialize audio in a Web Audio context.
