No, I’m saying that you’d connect the ScriptProcessorNode to an OfflineAudioContext’s destinationNode and throw away the resulting AudioBuffers.

Or, you might be analyzing a subgraph which is actually being played out as well.

OfflineAudioContext will consume samples as fast as they are produced; presumably we would spec that MediaElementSourceNode will only produce samples at a 1 second-per-second rate.

If you are analyzing a subgraph that’s actually connected to a live destination, this seems moot, as we’re no longer talking about a disconnected subgraph.
