I suppose I knew that was going to be the answer. And I suppose it is a good exercise to
have figured out the needed commands.
Now, all I need to figure out is why issuing these commands....
xrandr --output DP-1 --off
xrandr --output DP-1 --right-of HDMI-0 --auto
causes any of my running apps to lose the ability to play sound until they are restarted.
