You would also have smearing, spreading and echoing issues large
enough that the time shift alone looks like not worth bothering with.
The infamous reverb 'Christmas Tree' function.

The time shift is still a decent enough idea, but far more difficult
than it seems.  Early Early Early Ogg codecs (pre-Squish) experimented
with this.
