No offense taken, and I didn't realize you were the same person who
responded to my question on the forums - I just figured the lack of
support for Twisted 8 was more of a problem for Debian than in
general, since Debian only has v8.

Your patch (in elisa-plugins-good 0.3.5-2) makes the program start
correctly, but it still doesn't work.  My current problem is, if I try
to play any sound file (tried mp3, flac, and Shoutcast streaming
radio), the screen goes black, for an instant there's a large rotating
circular arrow, and then elisa crashes.  There's not much in the logs
- just

WARN  MainThread      twisted                     May 31 00:53:11  A
twisted traceback occurred. (twisted/internet/defer.py:410)

Twisted traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
Failure: twisted.web.error.Error: 404 Not Found

If instead I try to play an audio CD, the rotating circular arrow
appears inside the "Audio CD" button and it just sits there rotating;
no sound comes out and the display doesn't change.

Any help you could give would be appreciated.
