Fearing the worst, I then did some backups. I then installed PulseAudio following the apt-get command line in http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=12497 (after excising two package names that no longer exist). I then purged every package with "alsa" in the name. I fired up vlc, and it played a MP3 file for me immediately. Wow! I then fired up the PulseAudio volume control, and went to the Configuration tab. I then turned on the headset. It appeared almost immediately in the configuration tab. I set it to use A2DP instead of the telephony duplex. then to the Playback tab on the PulseAudio volume control, where I selected the headset as the output device. Then I did the same with a Flash video from youtube. That was it! No configuration hassle! No broken packages (except as noted)! Are you sure this is a Linux package? :-) Thanks for the help. -- The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. -- U.S. Const.
