What else can we do with the Web Audio API?

Of course the Web Audio API is meant for synthesizing and processing audio data. It is tailored for that use case. But at least in our digital world audio data is just a series of numbers, which are typically somewhere between +1 and -1. So why can't we use the Web Audio API for general computations?

Almost a year ago I had the pleasure to give a talk at the Web Audio Conference in Atlanta. The conference featured a lot of great talks, which I really appreciated as an attendee. However, as a speaker it was tough to reduce my own talk until it was short enough to fit into the schedule. I had the feeling that I had to rush through my slides. Since then I planned to write down my findings in a more detailed way, but I never got around to it. Luckily I was asked to repeat my talk at our local Web Audio Meetup here in
