This seems like a WONTFIX for me. 

On the one hand, a web audio processing/synthesis API does only has in its
scope the processing of whatever sources and destinations it is given, not
beyond. 

On the other hand there could be cases where the web application *is* the
operating system, and such a requirement would be counterproductive.

This was echoed by Doug 
in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-audio/2012AprJun/0854.html :

> requirement proposal doesn't make sense there either.
