[X4U] Sound output misdirection

[Domenico Bettinelli]

I should point out that only some programs are being re-directed, not all.
That is, only the programs that I had asked Detour to re-direct, despite
what Rogue Amoeba's tech support says about Detour not being part of the
problem.

Thus the settings in System Preferences/Sound/Output are correctly set to
"Internal Speakers."
