I was short on time and didn't try to play anything through the device.  
That's the next thing I'll do.

Are you certain?  The mute button is on the top front edge, but the light 
appears about 2/3 of the way up the front side.  (There may be another 
light right on the mute button as well; I can't remember.)

So you're suggesting that perhaps the device resumes with the Mute turned 
on?  That would still be a bug, but not a terribly serious one.

I did.  As far as it indicates, after a resume everything is normal.  But
of course, that's without trying to play anything.

I haven't tried that yet.  Too short on time...

Okay, we'll see what happens.
