Sure thanks

What are all the dozens and dozens of "devices" in MC21 Linux under "Audio Devices" (which usually just has a handful like "Realtek HDMI" or "Cmedia ASIO" ?

The devices with names that start with "front:" or "surround:" are hardware devices that use the ALSA protocol to talk directly to the hardware without resampling. They're analogous to (but not exactly the same as) WASAPI exclusive in windows in that they take exclusive control of the hardware and prevent resampling. The same device may be enumerated multiple times because Linux treats different output channel counts on the same device as separate devices (also called sinks). So for a six channel dac, you might see a "front" device, a "surround2.1" device, a "surround5.1" device, etc. For stereo playback, the appropriate hardware sink is the "front:" entry that corresponds to the audio device you want to play to.
There will be some others as well; the main other "notable" one to look for is the "Pulse" output. Pulse is the current system mixer software bundled with most linux distributions. It's analogous to direct sound output on windows: all programs can output at the same time, but all audio must be resampled to a single rate (48k by default). Depending on how your distro configured the audio stack the ALSA[default] and ALSA[dmix] outputs may work the similarly to the pulse output, or differently, or not work at all.
Generally, I'd recommend choosing the hardware output that corresponds to the number of channels you want for the physical device you want. So "[ALSA] front: cmedia," for stereo output on a cmedia device, etc.

HI
I got Trusty Tahr, and the Purchase/Restore/Extend always show up when I click media center regardless of restoring my Master key. It s a real PITA.
I tried a re-install in vain.
Help...
Thanks,
Pierre
