I was going to suggest the name "Jazz.js" because it is a music term that contains the letters J (from JavaScript) and A (from Audio). :) But I see that there is already a project called Jazz.js (a Node.js template engine).
I was then going to suggest the name "Jade.js" (JavaScript Audio Decoders Encoders), but I see that there is already a project called Jade.js (yet another Node.js template engine).

Mozilla named their alpha release channel "Aurora" in 2011, but the name is a nod to Netscape's 1997 Aurora project, a competitor to IE4's Active Desktop:

Oh didn't realize your project was older. :) Anyway I doubt most people would really confuse the two.

Yeah, but when developing it ends up being confusing sometimes since we're often targeting Mozilla Aurora, it is also why I prefer to call it Aurora.js.

Can you just rename it Audora.js? Quick bing search didn't turn it up. It contains "aud" from audio, plus "aurora" is kind of wussy sounding anyway with no hard consonants.
But yes, it is slightly confusing, we know; we're just out of imagination and if something as nice pops up, we might rename Aurora.js to lessen the confusion.
