Yes I think so.

Pulse-clients don't like it, if the server is suddenly not available any
more. My idea was therefore to run a server locally an forward the
stream to the client. If the connection is lost the server can then
automatically forward the stream to the null-sink. Once the client
reconnects, it can redirect the stream to the client again. Another
advantage is, that the client can be automatically removed, once the
x2go-connection is terminated. This is especially the case with a TC,
where the next user does not want to hear the sounds of the application
of the previous user (and the other way round).
Unfortunately the tcp-sink has some synchronisation issues (Buffer
overrun at client -> player slowed down -> buffer underrun at server ->
player sped up, etc). This is much more unlikely to happen with a direct
connection.

Cheers
Morty
