Hey Norman,

Yes, this works only if you have pulse audio running on the client.

For the cases (if its a windows client or if there is a horrible firewall)
we havnt tested these cases yet, so I dont know the results.

I guess the ports for pulse audio(in our case 4713) are pretty well defined,
so if the firewall is configured properly it should work.

This patch was mainly intended to get sound working when xrdp is used with
KIWI-LTSP (i.e. with NOMAD on openSUSE). And that purpose is served well.

Could you provide me some pointers on how to launch one audio server per
session ?

Regards,
- projURON

PS : We are a bunch a students and this is our first opensource project, so
we are relatively very inexperienced. Any technical guidance or help from
your side would be much appreciated. Thanks.
