0.2.6-dev: PR #416 by Cromemadnd — every landing of a round start is heard: prep landing sounds take a voice of their own pool (LAND_VOICES 3, the oldest fading out over 30 ms) instead of being dropped by the battle limiter, which let only the first two of a chain sound since 192 of 210 operators share the 1.41 s b_char_set (Grok's review); per-piece cooldown, SFX volume and mute kept, the battle sounds' limiting unchanged, the generic files fetched ahead when a match view comes up; DESIGN §31.8; golden: unchanged

 // One landing, one sound: a piece whose Start still plays (on its model, owed to a model still loading, or cued less than
