Jessie's already an anachronism
what do you mean? it is stable
Stable doesn't always mean usable. Jessie has X xerver 1.16.4. I needed newer. I couldn't find a way to get current 1.18.3 into Jessie even with backports enabled, so I dist-upgraded to Stretch, which has 1.18.3.
That solved an an initial obstacle to troubleshooting after sound quit working altogether in Jessie, but sound is dead in Stretch too.
I doubt he needs KsCD. His preference is VLC, and both SMplayer and Kaffeine were working too before the total death of sound. I'd like simply to remove kscd-trinity, but attempting that wants to remove also kdemultimedia-trinity, tde-trinity, and tde-multimedia-trinity, and subject ~several hundred trinity and other packages to disappearance if autoremove ever gets run. :-(
- why do you think KsCD would work with > stretch?
Not an expectation, just something else to try.
