 When there are too many audio streams playing (so that updating the VU
 meter displays takes a cumulative amount of time greater than the maximum
 window redraw rate), the Volume Control window completely locks up and
 won't redraw.  This is a starvation issue.

 Updating VU meters should happen one at a time, in round-robin fashion, on
 demand from the idle loop, yielding after each single VU meter update has
 completed.
