 I was just looking into FreeRDP code and get to know about these flags.

It's not my requirement.  I was just playing with those flags and trying to
find out the behaviour of Audio in Remote Server.

There could be use case though If I want to play sound on server machine
but not on the local machine which is somewhere else and do have audio
support ( speakers  not on cloud ) .

I tried to send the console-audio flag as well based on that code but of no
use.

Yeah, I'm curious, Amarjeet, what your use-case is for having the audio
available on the server?  This option has never made a lot of sense to me,
though I can imagine maybe one scenario (controlling a desktop) where this
might make sense, but in a server or cloud scenario where you have multiple
users accessing a variety of either server or VDI-type machines, I fail to
see why you'd ever need audio to be "playing" on a server device and not
forwarded out to the remote system?

Guacamole does not use the same options to configure the same internal
flags. The "xfreerdp" client and Guacamole are not equivalent in
implementation, regardless of the fact that they use the same underlying
RDP library (FreeRDP).

It has following command line interface options.

Honestly, "leave on server" does not make sense to me as an option, but
based on the code you pasted in your email, you'd need to use the
"console-audio" option:

http://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/configuring-guacamole.html#rdp-device-redirection

Can you describe what you're trying to do here? What makes you look into
the specifics of these audio options vs. FreeRDP?

Guacamole doesn't support AUDIO enable disable feature as FreeRDP do

[Amarjeet Singh]

Hi Team,


In Guacamole we have the option to disable audio to true or false but
FreeRDP doesn't behave like this while connecting through command line
interface.

It has following command line interface options.


> audio-mode: Audio output mode
> (mode can 0 - redirect locally, 1 - leave on server, 2 - none)


In Guacamole, If I set disable-audio=true then it disables the audio on
remote server as well.

*How can we achieve this on Guacamole ? (  leave on server  ) *


My Observations of Command Line Interface code of FreeRDP is as follows :

{code:none}
CommandLineSwitchCase(arg, "audio-mode")
{
long mode = strtol(arg->Value, NULL, 0);

if (errno != 0)
return COMMAND_LINE_ERROR_UNEXPECTED_VALUE;

if (mode == AUDIO_MODE_REDIRECT)
{
settings->AudioPlayback = TRUE;
}
else if (mode == AUDIO_MODE_PLAY_ON_SERVER)
{
settings->RemoteConsoleAudio = TRUE;
}
else if (mode == AUDIO_MODE_NONE)
{
settings->AudioPlayback = FALSE;
settings->RemoteConsoleAudio = FALSE;
}
}

{code}

Any suggestions on the above ?
