Thank you for this!

Are you plan to release an update via the usual channels? The 0.3.72 is quite broken, not only Bluetooth (as I use wired headphones most of the time), and having working sound would be much appreciated, especially since I can't downgrade the packages as the previous version seem nonexistent any more.
