[X2Go-User] Pulseaudio doesn't start on Win7

[George Trakatelis]

Hi Michael, 

With regard to Ralf's workaround to PulseAudio's failure to start 
when there is no audio recording device enabled 

http://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-user/2014-December/002689.html 

I'd like to share my findings. 

First of all, the problem seems to be more widespread than anticipated. 
In fact, it affects all modern motherboards with onboard sound 
(be it from Realtek or Intel) that support jack detection 
and distinguish whether or not an actual device is plugged in. 

Secondly, being such a problem as described above, 
one can easily overcome it in two ways: 
a. plug a mic in the microphone jack or 
b. enable a dummy audio recording device as Philip did

Disabling microphone input in X2Go Client for Windows is a move 
in the right direction and I'm sure developers will address the issue
properly, 
but -in the meantime- users can achieve the same result 
with less effort compared to Ralf's solution.
