Hi Simon

Apologies for the delay, so far the proposed solution of Bruno did not
work for me. In case osspd is mandatory to have sound working it should
be a forced dependency, and not only proposed, right? I let you all
decide whatever is needed, I lack the technical expertise honestly. Just
wanted to report that installing ut99 turns out without sound but can
fixed by apt install osspd.

Thank you
