I had to make corrections to the aplay command specified. The file to be
played back must exist for the results to be displayed. The attached txt
file has the results from the aplay command on the Lubuntu Distribution.

I have to go off the net soon to participate in Daytime activities.

I still have not received answers that will help me proceed with testing.

I saw in previous updates IF ELSE Statement extracted from Patch code and
it is not clear whether this was original code from the patch that needed
modification or if the code logic was already changed to reflect the
prevent switching mentioned.

The VirtualBox Fork and Build Process created the following file that will
install VirtualBox outside of normal apt-get processing.

VirtualBox-5.0.51_OSE-r57571.run

I have not tried to check whether the Patch code referenced in previous
updates is incorporated into this Build. If the patch was accepted and
promoted to the community, I would guess that it is incorporated into my
installation package.

When I return to resume work on this issue later, I will(with the exception
of additional instructions or guidance) uninstall Virtual Box 5.0.2 and
install this package. I can provide normal VBox Logs for a re-installation
of Lubuntu on that very current level of VirtualBox.
