Are automation events on nodes canceled on node disconnect?

I'm disconnecting audio nodes (GainNode, StereoPannerNode) and reusing them later in another situation at another time (to reduce GC activity). Should I cancel all automation events on AudioParams of the node (should I call for example node.gain.cancelScheduledValues()) or it's done automatically when calling node.disconnect()?

I didn't find any details in the documentation at MDN, so I assume the AudioParams may still be changing after a node is disconnected.

That's a very good question. Since the WebAudio spec doesn't say, I think it's best to assume that the automations are still in place. If you don't want that, you need to cancel any automations before you reconnect them.
