Yeah, if someone like me who's studied the code, can forget
 (or never learned?) what that lock was for, imagine the
 trouble others have. To be fair, I never RTFM, hmm, is there a manual?
I would prefer tooltips on some of those controls, although maybe that's
 not the right place to say "Leave lock off for normal usage" or something...
Trouble is, I think it boots up like that, with the lock on.

My friend who's setting up a studio and who's never tried linux before,
 has a Delta1010LT card (like me), and took the plunge and installed Ubuntu.

His first phone call to me was "Uh, Tim, no audio !"
Good thing he's got me to help, er, or hinder ...

Thanks for the amazing work on this. Will test and report.

Tim.
