-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] It doesn't even matter whether or not the client must see the other clips. As long as it's not selected (= currently networked) it won't be changed as well - right? So we can just leave an old value at the client and show it forever, since it won't be outdated, unless the player switches to that clip (which would cause it to be updated again anyways). Kind of a 'cache' at the client.
