pq,

In 1969, it was understandable that we fixed our Unix bugs ourselves
using punched cards or an actual "tty".  The user was either a
Mathematician or a Scientist.  In 2013, we have quite a few purely end-
users that have never opened a terminal window (and have no wish to).
They have been led to believe that the various *buntus can operate as
simply as a Mac which has been generally true lately.

We need to cater to both audiences (computer-tech and GUI-only users)
and the gray area of users in-between.  So, we can probably expect some
confusion in not being able to control audio via the desktop for XFCE
users.  That's life.  I'm sure the permanent fix wasn't simple or there
would have been a solution already.  My day job is like that too.

Richard
