Hi again,

just updated to remmina 1.4.2 (from some 1.4.1 git checkout) - and sound works 
here.
So forget about the remmina part of my latest message.

And if the default of xfreerdp intentionally is "sound off", everything works 
as expected.
In that case: sorry for the confusion.

Bye,
 Marcel

Hi there,

First of all: Thanks for your great work!

I just compiled the final 2.0.0 release of FreeRDP and did some testing.

While doing so I noticed, that sound channel seems to be disabled by default:

xfreerdp /u:marcel /v:192.168.1.105
<...>
[INFO][com.freerdp.channels.rdpsnd.client] - [static] Loaded fake backend for 
rdpsnd

However, when specifying pulse as backend things start to work:

xfreerdp /u:marcel /v:192.168.1.105 /sound:sys:pulse
<...>
[INFO][com.freerdp.channels.rdpsnd.client] - [static] Loaded pulse backend for 
rdpsnd
[INFO][com.freerdp.channels.drdynvc.client] - Loading Dynamic Virtual Channel 
rdpsnd

Shouldn't activated sound be the default?

What makes things worse:
When using some graphical frontends like remmina (that seems to use libxfreerdp 
instead of calling xfreerdp and does not give any audio options at all (at 
least I couldn't find anything)) you're stuck with no sound.

There also is a RedHat bug about this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1795310 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1795310)

Any ideas about that?
I'm willing to work on a patch, once I get an idea about how things are 
supposed to work in FreeRDP-2.0.0/channels/rdpsnd/client/ (at least I guess 
that's where the magic (should) happen(s)).

Bye,
Marcel
