Forgot to add a disclaimer: forgot to exclude 64studio, DeMuDi, Apodio, Turnkey, dyne and/or dyne:bolic (am I missing any?) from the aforementioned statement, some of which I have a limited experience with (meaning they likely have very well configured audio apps). Hence, my sincere apologies to respective projects for my half-assed statement that may have unintentionally resulted in unfounded criticism. :-) Best wishes, Ico
