Chris- This is not an error, only a warning and is what you should expect for this hack. Sound should still work.
You see, there is no sound daemon called "rdp". You can use any value you like aside from a valid sound daemon for the hack to work. You could use: SOUND_DAEMON = chicken Same result. The idea is to have the thin client's sound script load the sound driver but not the sound daemon. If you leave SOUND_DAEMON blank, it loads esd by default, so the hack is to give it an invalid value so it posts a warning, but still loads the sound modules. If a sound daemon loads on the client, it takes ownership of the thin client's /dev/dsp, and therefore prevents rdesktop running on the thin client from writing to the sound device. Remember, this hack is for producing sound through rdesktop *running on the thin client* not from your linux desktop. So, it only works in conjunction with: SCREEN_01 = "rdesktop -r sound:local ...." If you want sound from rdesktop launched from your Linux desktop, you should keep SOUND_DAEMON = esd, and change your launcher on the desktop to: esddsp rdesktop -r sound:local .... If your server does not have "esddsp", you should install the esound-clients package for your distro. NOTE: The quality of sound piped through the Linux server using esddsp will most likely not be as good as rdesktop running on the thin client.
