Ah, that cleared things up :)  One thing that seems non-intuitive though is
that reading the .value attribute does not produce the value that has been
written to it. E.g. consider the following code:

myParam.value = 3;
if (myParam.value != 3) alert("I'm confused");

According to the current scheme, it's entirely possible for the code to enter
the alert-statement.

Wouldn't it be better if .value always returns the value that has been written
to it, and then we could add a new method for reading the intrinsic value (e.g.
getIntrinsicValue())?

BTW, with "current time" I assume you mean the value of
AudioContext.currentTime when the attribute is read (?). Perhaps this should be
defined somewhere.
