Another possible optimisation is to first scan the array of running
notes for any that may have stopped playing on their own (because they
might be short samples) and prefer to first recycle those. The
annoying bit is that that would work nicely with a list but would be
annoying with a array as the new note would still have to go at the
end as it'd be the newest.

I saw the summary. Looked like something that might apply to us. I was
hoping our MIR experts would be looking into this.
