Haven't looked at this one yet.  I'll give it a try later and see what
comes.  The other possibility lies with running PulseAudio for multiple

Haven't tried this one yet either.  They all seem rather convoluted to
me.  I miss the good old days when nothing was secured and black hats
were only in westerns and bad film noir.
