I can suggest one, though I haven't used it for real so can't speak for all the design tradeoffs:
(alts! [[out val] (timeout N)]) will attempt to write to a consumer, but if the consumer is swamped, will drop the message on the floor and move on. (I can imagine rewriting this using alt! so that if the timeout is taken, you can log that you've dropped something.) This is pretty similar to Sean's use-case, just with a put instead of a take.
