But Web Audio is part of the Web platform, and its architecture is inspired
by and built on the same building blocks as other parts of the Web platform.

Also, given the current effort to port WebGL and 2D canvas to Workers,
there will probably be demand for Web Audio in Workers, soon.  In fact,
this was recently discussed within Mozilla.  So I don't believe that the
mention of Workers is inappropriate here.
