Thanks.
I will have to come back on this one later Carlos, but I first tried 
stuff on the desktop machine, and I also had to install a package 
first to get full facilities, and a server function was also enabled 
(it was late, and I cannot recall its name). And sound worked.  I 
think I turned on the magnifier then but saw nothing apparently 
happen, then had to get to bed....

This morning I used a laptop and turned on the accessibility stuff, 
with my new found limited experience, and wow, the magnifier worked 
too :-)
On the laptop I was not asked to install any extra package, but the 
laptop is a demonstration machine and has different codecs at least.

It may be that I have missed something on the desktop. It may take 
some time to get back to it though, and I am very grateful for your 
interest.
