since i recently blew up my computer "accidentally on purpose"[1]... i
decided to try this since i said i would and so many others to had
success.

works perfectly under a fresh install, e17 desktop; nice w3rk!  i'm
liking it quite a bit... sharing/sending sound to other machines is a
pretty neat trick; maybe i can set it up under my local headless KVM
server and send music/etc to my or my fiancé's laptops... or both...
cool.
