The "kept existing capture stream" branch wrote the running command back
with the current time on every tick, which made a running command the
newest forever: no request sent tonight could outrank the July start until

teardown map records the audio result: 860 frames and 2,756 audio packets
in 29 s, nothing expired, on a producer host at 93% CPU.
