The Web Audio API was the work of the Chrome team, not the W3C in isolation. I'm right there with you as far as W3C criticism is concerned, but they don't deserve the blame in this case.

It was really the work of Chris Rogers. If more core Chrome people had been involved, I suspect things would have worked out better.
