Sounds great. By default, it simply starts, in XFCE, in the tray. The man page needs a patch as it says "Any other sound driver like OSS or FFADO, or sound server like PulseAudio or Jackd, are currently not supported (patches welcome)." Clicking on "Mixer" button (after right clicking the tray icon) brings up a window which appears to endlessly attempt to connect to PulseAudio. I thought pulse was not installed. Appears it is. Time to experiment with removing it again, as I only use ALSA anyway... Thanks :)
