Yes that a tmp-folder on the server or on the client???

No, definitely not.

What desktop environment are you running in the session?

X2Go does three things for pulseaudio:

   o set up reverse forwarding tunnel through the SSH connection that allows
     pulseaudio clients to connect to localhost:<port> on the server, get
     tunneled through to the X2Go client-side and reach localhost:4713 on the
     client
   o place a file into ~/.x2go/C-<session-name>/pulse that tells the way to
     connect
   o set an env variable PULSE_CLIENTCONFIG pointing to the above named file

Anything that happens with sound must come from an application trying  
to connect to pulseaudio. It may be that the PULSE_CLIENTCONFIG is  
ignored by some audio client, so then I guess this very application  
will try to connect to pulseaudio on the server which might fail. Just  
guessing here, though.

Greets,
Mike
