I should add, I do actually, use the absolute time technique when I'm doing non-streaming playback, but that doesn't do background playback. It blocks the thread and just chews up CPU. It uses no waits, no timers, nothing, except querying the current system ticks and playing the event stream in a tight loop.

If you can't do as Greg says, then it is a matter of going through each non-muted track individually, and finding the last non-muted event played. Recreate the new container without the muted events, find that last event played, and do the corresponding finagling. Unless I'm missing something.

> find that last event played, and do the corresponding finagling
That's the trick.

You control all of the data structures at that point. Just add an 'absoluteTick' value to the struct and keep it up to date. Then finding things becomes easy.

i'm not adding one member i only ever use for one purpose, and then greatly complicating the code.
For example, what does my code do if both are set?
Nah. I think I'll solve this by thinking my way through it.

I was making tracks in that direction, but I'll head off home instead.

This question is pretty solid - state your reasoning behind this idea so we can speed things up around here.

OK - I have a garden that is mainly Eggplant and Hot peppers. All sorts of hot peppers. The point of all this, of course, is to get as much fruit as possible (otherwise I'd just look at pictures of them in seed catalogs).
Well - it started with some indoor hot banana peppers that survived well over a year in a sunny window at work. To get peppers from them, since there was a shortage of bees and other pollinators, I took upon myself the task of giving them the finger - or more precisely, the back of my thumbnail. For peppers, even without other pepper flowers available, this was enough to cause fruiting. Still, it was rather crude.
So now I've gotten a small soft paint brush - a tiny version of the ones used by humans during what is oft called 'foreplay'. Here's the plan:
I figure that if even a fingernail gets the flowers to go to fruit, imagine how much the yield will improve if the plants enjoy the experience even more with gentle and genteel brush strokes! As I only just started this method, there is an obvious induction period before any results are observable.
I'll update the lounge, if there is the expected clamor for the results, when the upcoming developments are manifest, so stay tuned !

Not when it's aimed at your reproductive organs. Then it looks very different.

Looks like a makeup brush to me. Not that I would know, I have merely observed the women-folk in my life use similar looking brushes.
|
|
|
|
|
I originally was going to say make-up brush myself, but did not want to be accused of possessing knowledge about these things, so I changed it to water color brush. 
In this day and age, I should not be worried about such things, but I am. 
|
|

So, use one such makeup brush with the hot peppers, and put it back in her makeup kit.
What could possibly go wrong...?
(assuming those parts aren't the hot ones...)

You do realize that the offspring is from incestuous activities. Normally bees will move around from plant to plant, ensuring a little bit more genetic diversity.

Well, from what I've observed, the bees mainly go from flower to flower on the same plant. Definitely some crossover, but mostly not - at least in the world of peppers and eggplants.
In the case of the frisky fingernail, it falls closer to the world of a lonely hermaphrodites.
