Yes, I can hear system noises before I login. Login and they become muted 
and firefox is silent, until I stop whatever FF is playing and issue the 
alsoctl restore command, which reports a can't do that, system is busy, 
but when I restart FF playing whatever, it then works till the next 
reboot.

Alsa seems to be the tool of choice. I have had some of Leonart P's stuff 
installed but could not make it work w/o a lot of fiddling, so I took it 
back out, sometimes with rm. Apt-get seems not to be very good at 
cleaning up the messes it has installed.

Maybe I can't see the forest because of all the trees, but I can't see 
any logical reason why starting tde should mute the sound system, 
perhaps someone could clarify why that is so, requiring an intervention 
by alsactl before it works again.

I just did, and turned off the remote access and the timeout, we'll see 
at the next reboot. Usually at about 30 day intervals. 14 days uptime 
right now.
