(X2Go bug 363. Our "fix" is to bundle X2Go Client win32 with the unaffected pulseaudio win32 0.9.6 in addition to the affected pulseaudio win32 1.1.) It appears to only affect PulseAudio when it is running on Windows. In X2Go terminology, the PulseAudio server runs on the X2Go Client. We always use a "Direct Connection" as listed here with X2Go: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Network/#index1h2 Anyway, I did some testing of this patch. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmL_OrCln9ShdHNVb2cyX2w2MUlJdTdOMnhNWW9uV2c&usp=sharing In summary: The patch fixes the bug when firefox + flash_plugin is running on Ubuntu 12.04. Firefox's HTML5 audio works fine with or without the patch on Ubuntu 12.04. However, when the apps are running on Fedora 20, applying this patch to the win32 pulseaudio causes audio to stop working altogether! Note that I have not applied either this win32 patch: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69710 nor this set of win32 patches: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69712 I am thinking of applying both of them on the win32 client and then retesting Fedora 20. Note that with X2Go, the windows client is using a config file like this (the port numbers are randomly generated): load-module module-native-protocol-tcp port=4713 load-module module-esound-protocol-tcp port=4714 load-module module-waveout And the linux server is using a PULSE_CLIENTCONFIG file like this: default-server=localhost:30002 cookie-file=.x2go/C-mike-50-1390783444_stDMATE_dp32/.pulse-cookie Note that we are using SSH port forwarding by default. However, when I disabled X2Go's SSH port forwarding for pulseaudio in the past, it did not fix this flash audio bug. -Mike DePaulo win32 Package Maintainer for the X2Go Project
