I just saw this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=957024

It turns out this is the same bug we're having. I changed the position of the sound in the example (1,0,0) and it worked. 

However if I set it to a small value like (0.00001, 0, 0) the sound is completely corrupted. This is definitely related to that bug.

Maybe callback overloading because of the HRTF?

That's probably been fixed by all the perf work we've done. Feel free to  reopen if it's not the case.
