Re: GainNode with gain > 1

I'm in agreement with both these points, thank you.

It currently says that the node should multiply the input by the gain value, and I see no reason to talk about specific values of the gain node.  What I think we should do is to remove the mention of nominal values here and everywhere else, and add test cases that make sure implementations do not clamp the gain value when its absolute value is greater than 1.
