Thanks Steve, Brad and Douglas for addressing my enquiry about xine finding a DVD.
sources.list now addresses the unofficial repository and libdvdcss2 is installed, but the problem is deeper. There is no sound from any application. lspci finds the USB controller and lsusb finds the C-media USB sound device. The sound device manager in xfce4 now finds only the on-board Intel sound device. Even Skype, which has never failed before, fails to recognize the C-media device. No application produces any sound from any device. The only change I recall since sound worked is that I used tightvncserver in place of xfce4. Any suggestions other than reinstall the entire system? Thanks, ... Peter E.
