Package: x2goserver Severity: wishlist
currently X2Go Client starts PulseAudio on the client side to play sound. The PA clients on the server sending data through SSH tunnel to PA server on X2Go Client. This scenario has two big disadvantages:
- We need to provide PA Server with X2Go Client on Windows and Mac OS.
- PA clients sending data in raw format (uncompressed). This costs a lot of bandwidth and make playing sound on slow Internet connections almost impossible.
The idea is to use mediastreamer2 + ortp libraries to deal with data compression and audio hardware on the client side:

we'll also need to create a PA backend for mediatreamer2 on the server side.
