[X2Go-User] Enable sound on x2go tce

[olafs6 at gmx.de]

Hi Walid,

directly after inserting the patch you specified I successfully
tested the audio call with skype, it works perfectly.

I need the video function absolutely. Not very often, but always
again.
Until now, I always have to shut down my thinclient with x2go and start
another system (putty) on my thinclient. There, however, I can not fully
exploit x2go, since the x2go screen with every right click with the
mouse for some time freezes, so you can not work.

Bye,
Olaf
