RxJs: lossy form of zip operator

Question

Consider using the zip operator to zip together two infinite Observables, one of which emits items twice as frequently as the other.
The current implementation is loss-l

Answer 1

This gives the sequence [ 0, 2 ] [ 1, 5 ] [ 2, 8 ] [ 3, 12 ] ...

const interval1 = Rx.Observable.interval(1000)
const interval2 = Rx.Observable.interval(300)

const combined = Rx.Observable.combineLatest(interval1, interval2);
const fresh = combined.scan((acc, x) => { 
    return x[0] === acc[0] || x[1] === acc[1] ? acc : x 
  })
  .distinctUntilChanged() //fresh ones only

fresh.subscribe(console.log);

with arguably fewer operators. Not sure how efficient it is though.

For update #3,

Then you'd need a key for each source item.

// Simulated sources according to latest spec provided (update #3)
const source1 = Rx.Observable.from(['x','y','z'])
const source2 = Rx.Observable.from(['a','a','b','b','c'])

// Create keys for sources
let key1 = 0
let key2 = 0
const keyed1 = source1.map(x => [x, key1++])
const keyed2 = source2.map(x => [x, key2++])

const combined = Rx.Observable
  .combineLatest(keyed1, keyed2)
  .map(([keyed1, keyed2]) => [...keyed1, ...keyed2]) // to simplify scan below
combined.subscribe(console.log) // not the output, for illustration only
console.log('-------------------------------------')

const fresh = combined.scan((acc, x) => { 
    return x[1] === acc[1] || x[3] === acc[3] ? acc : x 
  })
  .distinctUntilChanged() //fresh ones only

const dekeyed = fresh
  .map(keyed => { return [keyed[0], keyed[2]] })
dekeyed.subscribe(console.log); // required output

This produces

["x", "a"]  
["y", "a"]  
["z", "b"]
