Actually you've made me think that it would be a good idea to have an
inlet in nqpoly4 for data as produced by the [poly] object. Then one
wouldn't need to make the send/receive pair by hand. Currently nqpoly4
implements one voice allocation algorithm which is a bit limited and
only really useful for granular synthesis, but not so useful for
Midi-inspired polyphony, where the note length isn't known in advance.

I think, a successor of nqpoly4 should not care about voice allocation
at all by itself.
