Is all this with SOUND=False in lts.conf? The error that you get with alsamixer suggests that the pulse soundcard is set as the default soundcard- which is odd (and the source of your problem).
Well, if all else fails, instead of killing pulseaudio, you can work with it and add: export PULSE_SERVER=tcp:127.0.0.1:4713 to the rdesktop screen script. If that *still* doesn't work, you can install "pulseaudio-utils" in the chroot and make the screen script call: padsp rdesktop -r sound:local:oss .... But, this is getting ugly.
