LTSP | LTSP Rdesktop Sound

Background

Rdesktop is a problem, because it uses /dev/dsp as the sound device (for version 1.5 at least). This is incompatible with ALSA.

Solution

Specifying “oss” as the sound driver, instead of the default, worked fine:

$ padsp rdesktop -r sound:local:oss 192.168.0.1
