Hi Stefan,

yes pulseaudio is started from x2gothinclientd - rdesktop does not
support pulseaudio as audio backend - but you can workaround that with
'padsp' from the pulseaudio-utils package. - you just have to prefix the
rdesktop command with padsp like:

padsp rdesktop -u <username> -f -r sound:local <address>

then pulseaudio redirects the access to /dev/dsp of rdesktop to itself.

xfreerdp should have native pulseaudio-support so it depends on your
choice of software. To force xfreerdp to use pulseaudio you could add
the parameter '--data tsmf:audio:pulse' to the xfreerdp-command



Kind regards
