Ok, so I need to apologize for wasting time here... I was experimenting with an "automated upgrade" (driven from gprolog) that went haywire... too many pots and just one kook. So now I'm back to 6.7 and 6.6, variously ;^/ On a second(?third) run at it I got the sound working for firefox but a lot of other stuff went sideways... the machine that baked is embarasingly old.
So, thanks, eh? FWIW I'm attaching a 6.8 /dev/ listing where the sound worked
(it was installed on a USB...)
