Right, also "people come, people go" and therefore we never know what their reflection will be.

Yes, I got same feelings - though I'm new to it - because I think there are not enough options to choose from or to configure, and it misses log - to observe connections.

I will think what to do - probably, I will try the ones You suggested in a VM - will see how well sound card will work there. I think let's finish here - as we have considered all available options, seems to me. I thank You very much for You precious to me help!
