Ok, I have pulseaudio daemon running on the ltsp client. I have asound.conf configured. I have PULSE_SERVER=tcp:xxx.xxx.x.xx:4713 set in client.conf
When I'm not running X, and just at the client CLI, I can run aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav and I hear sound. When I startx and I begin running X from my app server - I go to Preferences->Sounds and get I get the following error (this is essentially running gnome-sound-properties) "gnome-sound-properties Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'. Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager." Also, my server login script that I run to log into these app servers and run X from has the following output: "AttributeError: DBusException instance has no attribute '_dbus_error_name' ** (gnome-panel:9874): WARNING **: Failed to establish a connection with GDM: No such file or directory ** (bug-buddy:9971): WARNING **: Couldn't load icon for Open Folder" I feel like I'm close here. Port 4713 is open to and from the thin client and the app server.
