Internally, WebKit has something called an OfflineAudioContext which
processes faster than real-time, rendering the result into an AudioBuffer,
then calling a completion callback when finished.  We currently use it
extensively for running our automated  "layout" tests.  With fairly little
trouble, we could put this in the Web Audio spec.  I'm sure it would be
useful for rendering down final mixes, bouncing, "pre-baking" audio to be
used as parts of a larger whole...

Cheers,
Chris
