Thanks, I'd pretty much given up hope of a response to that :) I
mainly use 2.0.3 (on Debian Wheezy), but gave 2.2.0 (on Debian Jessie)
a shot; sadly, the sound simply cut out when I hit b (the OSD said the
name of the next audio track, but it didn't play). Will have to track
down what's going on there.
