Re: [web-audio-api] Behavior of multiple connections to same node needs to be explicitly defined (#143)

That's an interesting point. However, the addEventListener behavior is also bad. It means

var f = function() { alert("hello"); };
for (var i = 0; i < 2; ++i) {
  document.documentElement.addEventListener("click", f, false);
}

behaves differently from

for (var i = 0; i < 2; ++i) {
  document.documentElement.addEventListener("click", function() { alert("hello"); }, false);
}

and

  document.documentElement.addEventListener("click", f, false);
  document.documentElement.removeEventListener("click", f, false);
  document.documentElement.addEventListener("click", f, false);

behaves differently from

  document.documentElement.addEventListener("click", f, false);
  document.documentElement.addEventListener("click", f, false);
  document.documentElement.removeEventListener("click", f, false);

I don't think being consistent with badness is a good thing.
