I haven't ported any Audio Data FFT or convolution examples to MediaStreams
but it wouldn't be hard.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "offline processing". I think you
probably mean the ability to construct a stream graph and drive it at the
maximum possible speed to record a composition or something like that.

As far as I can tell, neither Web Audio or MediaStreams Processing supports
that currently. (The comparison wiki page
http://www.w3.org/2011/audio/wiki/Spec_Differences says Web Audio does, but
I don't see API for it on AudioContext in
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/audio/raw-file/tip/webaudio/specification.html#AudioContext-section
.)

I think there's nothing difficult in principle about adding API for this to
either proposal. Since MediaStreams Processing doesn't have a context
object, I would just add an API to MediaStream that controls the processing
rate of the entire connected subgraph.
