SPICE (<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.spice-space.org/">http://www.spice-space.org/</a>)
has been mentioned here on this list occasionally, though as a
non-coder I cannot make any statement regarding its suitability
for X2Go.

<br>
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.

As to my understanding the problem of spice is, that it's designed
as virtual hardware. Thus even then pulse connects to your virtual
sound card. Thus we need a spice-kernel-sound-driver which AFAIK is
not planed.<br>

Plus it would probably free us from the Nomachine codebase
currently used for image compression. Again, that is <b
class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>if<span
class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> it lives up to its promise -
I haven't tried it myself yet.

The part we do want to use is xspice [1], but AFAIK it is not yet in
a state that we want to use it (I currently don't have the resources
to verify that). But here my guts tell me, that it's less hassle to
improve pulse than to get sound into that module - but who knows. ;)<br>
