The appendBufferAsync() method
of the SourceBuffer interface begins the process of asynchronously

a TypedArray or a DataView object to the SourceBuffer object.
It returns a Promise which is fulfilled once the buffer has been appended.

This simplified example async function, fillSourceBuffer(), takes as input
parameters buffer, an ArrayBuffer, a TypedArray, or a DataView, and a
SourceBuffer object to which to append the source media from the buffer.
async function fillSourceBuffer(buffer, msBuffer) {
try {
while (true) {
await msBuffer.appendBufferAsync(buffer);
}
} catch (e) {
