W3C process aside, if only one engine is going to implement the spec
there's not much point in spending energy in a standards body writing the
spec.
I can't say that Mozilla would never implement the spec --- the future is
uncertain, and a contributor might just appear with an implementation ---
but the list of things we want to invest in that are higher priority is
very, very long.
I'm still a little puzzled by the fact that most of the energy in this
group lately has been directed towards MIDI when it seems self-evident to
me that Web Audio is far more important and still needs a lot of work.

Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority
over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among
you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your
slave — just
as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his
life as a ransom for many.” [Matthew 20:25-28]
