The only RDP protocol I have on Centos6 is Xrdp and I have not been able
to get audio to work with it on any of my machines yet.

So on Centos 6 at least this would explain why audio isn't working.
It does not fail however when run through x2go. X2go tunnels audio over
ssh but the exact details of how it does this I am not familiar. I don't
need to add that line for audio to work with x2go.
Yes, many things are different from VNC and x2go is one of them. It's not
really a constructive comparison.
VNC does not tunnel audio. It's simply not part of the protocol. For
Guacamole to be able to provide audio when VNC is being used as the backend
remote desktop protocol, Guacamole must connect separately to PulseAudio
over the network. This means PulseAudio needs to be configured to (1)
accept network connections and (2) send audio over the sink associated with
those connections.
There are other remote desktop protocols and servers (Windows RDP, for
example) which do support audio natively and don't require a separate
backend audio connection. That is not relevant to VNC.
