Something in starting the x stuff as the usr after the login, is killing the sound UNTIL the user does a restore. And its a right PIMA. Just for S & G, I just added an aplay command to be executed by me, immediately after a line in rc.local that does a theoretical restore, as me to play the front-center channel id file.
