OK, Lads:
Gave up, Wiped, reinstalled, running ok with Shot-gunned conf and sh files sprinkled in each directory (I hope).
Would like to 'force' 48KHz sampling shows as E/3, Yes I know it 'hogs' TOP in this instance indicated not more than 20% proc but absolutely nothing else is going to be in there.
In fact any Bullseye armhf lite "Stripping" suggestions would be helpful.?
Still can't get crontab auto-starting, though. Anything out there less 'user-belligerent' to try?
