Re: [web-audio-api] (JSWorkers): ScriptProcessorNode processing in workers (#113)

Not quite the same thing as audio processing, but we're trying to limit
all the new XHR features in main thread to async only. Sync is occasionally easier
to use, but it will just fail (cause bad user experience) in the main thread.
(And yes, the change to limit certain sync behavior to workers only broke
various libraries.)

Similarly, JS audio processing is guaranteed to fail on the main thread
in reasonable common cases. So, IMHO, all the JS audio processing
should happen in background threads.
