Having the audio thread never make blocking calls is good, but it leaves open the spec/API question of how a node should behave when one of its inputs can't produce data in a timely manner. It is possible to have the node pause while the input catches up, and it's possible to fill the input with silence as necessary. I think there are valid use-cases for both, especially when you throw media element and MediaStreams into the mix.

Either way, it needs to be spelled out in the spec.
