I still believe this is the case.

Sure. Notwithstanding the requests from developers who want to build libraries (useful, but a very specific view of things) the feedback we have received from developers seems to be:
* The high-level access provided by the web audio API is great and makes it easy to audio processing an analysis code easily, today, with very little concern for optimization.
* The moment you want to build anything custom, the API in its current state is not great. I recall my team complaining that the moment you want to do custom processing, you have to basically wrap everything in your own class, and write a lot of boilerplate. [Ping ChrisL/Matt for details.]
The demand is for both, and I suspect this group would benefit from having fewer suggestions that we should go for one XOR the other.
