[X2Go-Dev] BUG REPORT - X2Go Client 3.99.2.1-rc1 for windows is ready for testing

[Stefan Baur]

Hi Alex,

I believe you're looking for the problem in the wrong location.  (Or 
maybe you misunderstood my bug report.)
The way I see it, pulseaudio on the client just flat out refuses to run 
while %USERPROFILE%\.x2go\pulse\.pulse\%COMPUTERNAME%-runtime\pid exists.

Proof for my theory:
When I close all x2goclient.exe-related tasks (ssh and whatnot) and run 
x2goclient.exe again I still have no sound when reconnecting.

BUT: as soon as I close x2goclient.exe, manually delete the pid file and 
restart x2goclient.exe, I *do* have working sound when reconnecting.

Of course, suspending *while the video is running* will have the effect 
described by you, but that's *not* the issue I'm reporting.  I'm waiting 
for the video to finish (I was originally tryingo to find out if the 
pulseaudio stability issues when playing long videos are gone), so there 
is no active application like flashplayer trying to push data to 
pulseaudio.
