Your case is a very good example of why such behavior should be 
specified normatively in the specification (i.e. the C++ source code of 
a particular implementation can not act as a replacement for a proper 
specification). The underspecified DynamicsCompressorNode is a known 
issue, see: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17362 (which 
has not yet been addressed).

I think/hope that this group will focus more on fixing spec issues soon 
(once we have the data race issue out of the way).
