Many thanks for your suggestion.  I didn't know of PulseAudio and I will
have to check it out.  As I use Debian it's only a quick "apt-get
install" away.

Out of interest, what happen if you try playing sound (music or video)
when you don't have your Lindy USB sound device plugged in?  I haven't
tried that out yet on this this netbook.
