Package: x2goclient 
Version: 4.1.1.1 

x2goserver logs are filled with these:

ssh is using ssh pipe to connect to the pulseaudio server of the client. When a session is disconnected this pipe is cut and apps using pulseaudio clients are trying respawn the pulseaudio found in x2goserver which they should not do. The following patch tells them not to try that and the issue is fixed.
