SPICE (http://www.spice-space.org/) has been mentioned here on this list 
occasionally, though as a non-coder I cannot make any statement 
regarding its suitability for X2Go.

The colorful graphics on their web page show a virtual sound device, so 
I'd assume it is possible to transmit sound over the SPICE protocol.

Plus it would probably free us from the Nomachine codebase currently 
used for image compression.  Again, that is *if* it lives up to its 
promise - I haven't tried it myself yet.
