I did Nikos suggestion but also discovered I hadn't relogged in the |
| 22 |
user after adding user to audio group. Once I did both it worked but |
| 23 |
not sure if both were needed. The user in audio part is a necessity |
| 24 |
for sure... but not sure the changes on right click in a running |
| 25 |
firefox playback is. |

The right click context menu preferences/play appears to be the only |
| 30 |
setting that would really matter. |

[audio output] [drop dn menu] |

The drop down offers a number of choices, alsa being one of them. I |
| 34 |
think it was blank when I first looked. |

It seems to work with either being blank or `alsa' inserted. |
