An input to accept an external audio signal could be added to the Space synthesizer. The input could be named Sound B Audio Input to indicate that if this input is active, it would substitute the sound B wave-table. In this way, Space could combine a wave-table with an arbitrary sound. In this situation, the B spectrum parameters wouldn't have any effect, but the B audio input could still be comb filtered, tuned in the Tuning and Stereo sections, and combined with the A wave-table using all the modulation capabilities.

I currently don't know how many of the effect-knobs are baked into the wave-tables and as such would be disabled for the input. I guess only the spectrum knobs are, so your request seems at least feasible in a meaningful manner.
Gotta check this, though.
This isn't the first request where someone wants to turn (a part of) a synth into an effect device. Maybe we should address that in a more general way.
I got the idea from the fact that I'm often adding sampled textures to wave-tables to make them richer and also from the fact that many synthesizers seem to often include "external audio input" as an oscillator type, integrating that audio tightly into the whole architecture of the synth. This is a low priority idea that I'm just throwing in here.
No, I think you're right.
