What you're trying to do is tricky, because at a certain point in time
there might be ongoing sounds. E g, if you start rendering at 00:03,
maybe a piano note was started at 00:02 (a second earlier) and still
sounding.

To do this right, I think you have to render 3 seconds of audio data and
throw away the result.
