I don't think there's a problem with Linux, at least... Some people have
actually streamed in the order of 100 (audio) files at once to/from disk
on Linux/x86 systems, and the limit is probably way beyond that.

If the output buffers are made big enough, one could probably get away
with looping { open(); write(); close(); } over the output files. This
will generate quite some metadata shuffling overhead, but if you really
hit the maximum open files limit...

Hmm... You could breathe while coding, right...? As to sleeping, I'm
still looking for a solution. ;-)
