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.
