It could be that some browser engines don't care about such devices, but Gecko does. We cannot really change that Javascript only supports floating-point right now. While I agree that maybe you should make a DSP API extendable to fixed-point types in the future, the current state of Javascript kind of prevents us from using non-floats for just about anything.
