Awesome.. Sorry for causing the stuffup

I probably shouldn't have told you to use sid (which is Debian's
"unstable" branch) because things like these are expected to happen.
Now that you have it all working you are probably best to change your
/etc/apt/sources.list back to look like:

deb ftp://ftp.uwa.edu.au/mirrors/linux/debian potato main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.uwa.edu.au/mirrors/linux/debian-non-US potato non-US/main
non-US/contrib non-US/non-free
deb ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security potato/updates main

so any future programs you install will come from potato (Debian's stable,
tried and proven branch)

The last line is very important because any security fixes for Debian will
be there, and you are advised to run "apt-get update;apt-get upgrade" on a
regular basis to ensure you always have the latest security fixes.
Either that, or subscribe to debian-security-announce and do the upgrade
whenever a new update is announced.

Sound works ok too now?
