I'd be very interested in seeing this worked out for the general case, in particular, with explicit bounds for given a frequency bound how far off SIA and SSA will disagree. One obvious issue might be what happens when one tries to do this over a continuous rather than discrete room space, but if things are well behaved that should be similar to the case with lots of rooms.
