That sounds good. I'll look into that.

I think that this constant is fairly high though, might be platform
dependent etc. It's probably true that socket numbers are being
assigned by the lowest available number, but we should not
pre-suppose how other parts of the code will use sockets
and thus how dense our array will be.

Anyway, I suppose the speed difference between hash table
implementation and array implementation is irrelevant
in comparison with tasks which are really time consuming
(speech synthesis, transfer of audio data between processes...).

This is separate from the issue whether we are leaking file
descriptors, which should be fixed in any case.
