That would make it mostly useless.

The proposal here is to allow a MediaRecorder to be constructed for an
AudioNode. That does not enable connection of OfflineAudioContext to
MediaStreams or PeerConnections --- by design, since we don't want to open
that can of worms. Yet :-).

By the way, is it correct to say that an OfflineAudioContext isn't linked

That's right.

In any case, I agree that since it is already possible to create a

I'm not aware of additional spec work that needs to be done for that case.
MediaStreamAudioDestinationNode has existed for a while. Firefox has been
shipping it + MediaRecorder for a while now.
