As the normal user for which pulseaudio --version doesn't work, can you try spawning sudo dtruss -f sudo -u $USER /Applications/x2goclient.app/Contents/exe/pulseaudio --version Yeah, I know this looks weird since we need to use sudo twice, but dtruss is only working with elevated privileges, but since root is able to execute PA --version just fine, we need to switch back to your other user account...
