      ? ? ?  I'm afraid there is confusion here.  The Samsung referred to
      above is my DVD apparatus.  I can mount that and read stuff off of
      it real good.   Under sarge I did a big back up to it.  I haven't
      tried writing to it under my new etch .

I have tried Mike Shade's suggestion about just calling the device.
Same answer.

Back to sound:  I can't play my .wav files.  But there is nothing
wrong with the HW, because I get a squawk from my speakers when
I boot.

I thought etch was the new "ancient old stable Debian"!  I feel as
though I'm on the cutting/bleeding edge.   (I should however say
that the Debian system, with my three DVDs from CheapBytes) works
just the way it is advertised to:  I do an apt-cache search , I'm
told what is available,  I become root, run apt-get install, the
system tells me what DVD to insert, etc etc . There is something
else awry, it seems)

So please keep the help coming.  How'm I going to learn anything if
I don't have teachers???
