I need to be more precise, It's the cron job which is blocked, manual operation
still works correctly:
rprice@maria ~ /usr/local/bin/bark.sh 5
bark.sh starts ... XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/u
Before running VLC I hear system sounds, e.g. a cron job has Biff barking each
hour. If I then play a music mp4 with VLC, I hear the music, but when the
music
stops I no longer hear Biff. VLC inhibits system sounds, and leaves the
inhibition in place. VLC -> Tools -> Preferences -&

The suppression of startup and shutdown sounds
is apparently a circumvention for a bug.
The other possibility is that GNOME has switched to a different
network transparent audio daemon, such as pulseaudio. And
