Theoretically, as an array is just data and playing is just reading that array. Should I be able to play an audio array twice simultaneously e.g. one start to end, and once end to start, at the same time without them fighting at the middle? I wouldn't want to change the array and play it, but whilst I can test this rather know than guess

It's not obvious to see which will come first, which is a dead horse I've beaten previously

Patch from the [tabread4~] help with a small modification:
