Web Audio is on the radar for WinCairo. I wasn't going to start working on it 
until after platform/audio ended up in PAL.

I disagree, implementing ENABLE_VIDEO is possible with generic "multimedia 
player" library, while ENABLE_WEB_AUDIO requires more advanced audio processing 
features.
And note that WebAudio is not supported in WinCairo port.

Also, AFAICS WebAudio is not widely used across the Web. Can anyone point me to 
real website which is not WebAudio demo but makes use of this API somehow?
