[Peter Lundblad, 2015/08/11 11:15:29]

Since many other times are in whole seconds, should be be consistent and make
all times in either seconds or milliseconds?

Compare to undefined here. Else, a caller can't set pan to 0 (in case masterPan
was changed).  I'd recommend that for all numeric optional parameters
because it is fairly subttle.

Seems like the second arguments on these two lines could be simplfied
