Stream as well as System Sounds on the Playback tab. When I logged back in |
| 33 |
as myself immediately after trying that, I got an anonymous error box - and |
| 34 |
heard its announcing beep! - saying Connection Failed: Connection Refused. |

pavucontrol) Lo! and behold! BBC Radio 3 bursts forth! --->8 Huge relief, |
| 41 |
and similarly huge thanks to Jack and all others who've helped. Now I can |
