Hi,

Hrm. OK. Thanx for clarifying. FWIW, "another instance" in the problem
description could very well have meant simply another instance of "volume
control" -- which is why I was unsure. Simply another volume control
(somewhere) would have been rather easier to work around that having to
re-roll the packages with the patch. But re-rolling I guess is what I
will do.

Indeed. I use it in this manner frequently.

Or headless machines.
