Thanks Joel,

Using: aplay -D default testfile.wav &

Without pulse audio installed, I get sound.

Using: aplay -D default testfile.wav &

With pulseaudio, there is no sound but pavucontrol shows that there is
some sound being relayed to the earphones?

So sound is still a wraith in Debian. [laughing]

Be well,
Charlie
