Thanks Kevin, that seems to have been the last piece of the jigsaw... at 
least until we upgrade to F11!

 From this experience, it seems that there are many places wheere we 
need to arrange & select options for Multimedia - would ther be a way to 
hit them all via one script or small app?

Tim: thanks for your clarification of sinks & sources,  it seems that 
the more we try to be precise with our terminology, the more worms crawl 
into the can!

Thanks again for getting my sounds & pictures working!
