Network sound is working, as is esd and pulse audio. Sound worked well
with F7, but has be troublesome on F8. I just put the stuff back in the
command today because I had some time to test it. (On F7, I used "aoss
rdesktop..." to make it work.)

I think that there's been some issues with the switch over to pulseaudio
but I suspect that there's confidence that all of the rough edges will
be smoothed over in time.
Maybe someone else has an idea.
