Well, I would like the settings to be saved inside the X2Go session then restored from there.
I know TCEs are read only (or volatile) so you can't save the client settings there and then get them back from there.
From a local client with X2Go client installed, it works of course since it relies on the local settings that can be saved in this situation.
But thinclient mode is a bit different and I suppose there should be a way to :

    1) save the volume levels at the X2Go session level when closing the session (maybe something that can be done through a logout script or the x2gocleansession process)
    2) retrieve the volume levels from the X2Go session and use it to set the local pulseaudio settings (probably through geting values from saved settings through SSH at connection time)

This could be activated only in --thinclient mode so that, normal X2Goclient behaviour could keep on using the local pulseaudio settings and not geting the ones from the X2Go session.

Where would you expect the setting to be saved? 
The Client is a RAM disk, so once you reboot, all settings are reset to 
their default values. 
If you want to adjust client-side audio volume, you'd have to adjust the 
volume on each startup using, say, amixer in a startup script that you 
splice into the thinclient boot process. If anything, I would use that 
to set the audio volume to maximum for all ThinClients. 

The only volume controls available to the user come from the server, 
once the session is running. Saving those settings SHOULD be the task 
of the selected Desktop Environment. 
It would be interesting to know if you're also losing the settings when 
you log in using a non-ThinClient computer that has X2GoClient installed.
