Broken threads are usual sight here these days. Too many people using
$DEITY knows what instead of a good and proper MUA :)
Heck, "many readers" do not even know that e-mail is threaded by its
very nature.

Aha. So, will this work?
aplay -d dmix:CARD=Set,DEV=0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav

Or this:
aplay -D plughw:CARD=Set,DEV=0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav

And likewise:
aplay -D dmix:CARD=U0x46d0x807,DEV=0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/noise.wav
aplay -D plughw:CARD=U0x46d0x807,DEV=0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/noise.wav

I'm unsure what should "usbstream:CARD=Set" do, but try it as well.

I used to dislike it too. Things had changed in this regard once I've
obtained a Bluetooth headset.
