I have (you had suggested it before), with the result that I don't have sound at all. Of course, the most likely reason for that is that my server indeed is behind a firewall, and I'm ssh'ing into it through that firewall (via port-forwarding)...
Ha! Sorry if you already told me that, and I forgot. Yes, I suppose the workaround of disabling sound tunneling is useless if the client and server are separated by a firewall.
I don't understand why tunneling the sound results in intermittent failures, but it does seem like that should be the focus of any debugging efforts to understand this problem with the Windows client.
