icke,

Good news -- rdp sound works on bare metal, too.  I toyed around with a
couple of Debian 12 servers w/ XFCE installed on DigitalOcean this
evening.  After running `./xrdp-installer-1.5.1..sh -c -s`, rebooting, and
then using Remmina to connect, sound came through just fine.  The Remmina
connection has an option for "Local" under "Audio Output" on the Advanced
tab.

Also note that although DO's Debian 12 image includes wget and lsb-release
(unlike the Incus image), it does *not* include dbus-x11.  That package is
needed to properly start the xfce windows session, so it needs to be
installed if you use DO.

Hope this helps.
