OK. My latest proposal would handle this efficiently. You wouldn't need to
create an extra AudioBuffer; you would modify the data and
already-initialized AudioBufferSourceNodes would not be affected.

By the way, why are you doing the programmatic transformation with JS
instead of Web Audio itself?
