I'm running a SaaS built on the back of the Web Audio + WebRTC apis. While it isn't perfect at all, it is still pretty impressive what progress has been made in the last few years allowing you to do all kinds of audio synthesis and processing right in the browser. It seems to me that it is a pretty general purpose api in intent. The approach seems to be to do the easy low hanging fruit first and then get to the more complicated things. This doesn't satisfy any single use case quickly but progress is steady. No doubt it would be nice if it was totally capable out of the gate but I'm simply happy that even the existing capabilities are there. Be patient, it will improve vastly over time.

EDIT: I should also add that the teams behind the apis are quite responsive. You can make an impact in the direction of development simply by making your needs/desires known.
