Package: x2goclient Version: 4.0.3.1
Situation:
Hardware:
Windows Server 2012, installed as Terminal Server Debian Linux 7.8( Wheezy), installed as X2Go Server Windows 7x64 Client
Connection scenario:
Windows 7 Client tries to play a local sound file. Result: Sound works just fine.
Windows 7 Client connects to Debian Linux 7.8 using X2GoClient. Result: Sound works just fine.
Windows 7 Client connects to Windows Server 2012 using RDP (mstsc.exe). *NOT* via X2Go's RDP proxy feature. Result: Sound works just fine.
Windows 7 Client, connected to Windows Server 2012 using RDP (mstsc.exe), again, *NOT* via X2Go's RDP proxy feature, tries to run X2GoClient *on the Windows Server 2012* *inside* the native RDP Session. Result: Sound fails for all things X2Go.
Analysis:
It seems that PulseAudio dies as soon as one tries to play sound.
The following are captures of the tasks running on the W2K12 server.
x2goclient running, no attempt to play a sound has been made:

As you can see, pulseaudio.exe is gone.
I can see that this is a rather unusual use case, but still, I'd be interested to know why PulseAudio fails us here.
