Please see the test matrix linked in my original message.
Our tests included Iceweasel 3.5.16-16 and 13.0.1-1.

This is Iceweasel 13.0.1 on the server, and X2Go with PA 0.9.6 on the 
Windows client:

- at about 0:30, there's a short "hiccup" as this was a WAN connection, 
but that's about it.

Same setup, only with PA 1.1 from the newer X2Go Windows client:
http://ionic.de/x2go/bugs/pulse/player/playfile.php?file=Win7Ionic-RTestSys1-Flash-P1.1.mp3 
- three to four "clicks" per second, absolutely unusable. :-(

Our testing seems to indicate that it is an issue with PulseAudio 1.1, 
which is shipped with X2Go's Windows client.
I think you should test it on a Windows system if you want to experience 
it for yourself, since that's where we're seeing the issue.
Testing with a Linux client will just add another unknown factor to the 
equation, especially as there are multiple ways of configuring sound 
output under linux, as opposed to The One Microsoft Way(tm).
