Hi Stefan,
i don't know about the 'rdpsnd'-plugin for xfreerdp - the official documentation suggests 'drdynvc':

yes pulseaudio is started from x2gothinclientd - rdesktop does not support pulseaudio as audio backend - but you can workaround that with 'padsp' from the pulseaudio-utils package. - you just have to prefix the rdesktop command with padsp like:
padsp rdesktop -u <username> -f -r sound:local <address>
then pulseaudio redirects the access to /dev/dsp of rdesktop to itself.
I know of padsp, but it seems there is no way I can just add this call somewhere in the config. This looks like it has to be added to x2goclient's source.
(I can only add additional parameters after the rdesktop/xfreerdp call, but nothing in front of it.)
xfreerdp should have native pulseaudio-support so it depends on your choice of software. To force xfreerdp to use pulseaudio you could add the parameter '--data tsmf:audio:pulse' to the xfreerdp-command
So, --ignore-certificate --plugin rdpsnd --data tsmf:audio:pulse -d DOMAIN -f -u User -p Password Server:3389 doesn't work, it throws me right back at the login prompt.
Running it on the command line
xfreerdp --ignore-certificate --plugin rdpsnd -d DOMAIN -f -u User -p Password Server:3389
(i.e. *without* the parameter you suggested) returns, when pulseaudio is loaded:
loading plugin rdpsnd Warning xf_GetWindowProperty (140): Property 484 does not exist connected to Server:3389 freerdp_load_library_symbol: failed to open /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/freerdp/rdpsnd_pulse.so: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/freerdp/rdpsnd_pulse.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory freerdp_load_plugin: failed to load rdpsnd_pulse/FreeRDPRdpsndDeviceEntry
So it does try to do some pulseaudio'ish things, but fails. Thus, I'm guessing xfreerdp in Debian Wheezy is too old/doesn't include Pulseaudio support for some reason.
Also, note that adding the parameter you suggested doesn't work out of the box - e.g. when called like this:
xfreerdp --ignore-certificate --plugin rdpsnd -d DOMAIN -f -u User -p Password --data tsmf:audio:pulse Server:3389
it dies instantly with:
loading plugin rdpsnd invalid option: --data failed to parse arguments.
so the position of the parameter seems to matter.
Additional info: xfreerdp --version returns "This is FreeRDP version 1.0.1"
