Does it work with flash audio too?  That's often been an issue on ltsp with audio

This works great in LTSP.  You can get nonconflicting sound on all your
thin clients without any work at all.

It's a huge improvement.

The sound server I couldn't remember at the last LUG meeting is...
PulseAudio:

It's a replacement to ESD. It seems to be working pretty well for me - I

haven't yet had a device lock condition where I can't play sounds in one

application because another has control of the sound device.

The main downside I've seen so far (at least in the Mandriva 2009
pre-releases) was there tended to be some sound lag in some
applications, namely games. In Quake3 for instance, there would be about

a 1 second sound lag, which is pretty annoying. Haven't had a chance to
test it with the final released version.
