Fedora now uses pulseaudio as its default sound system. Rdesktop 1.6 does not support pulseaudio. There is a patch available to fix this: http://www.csg.is.titech.ac.jp/~tadokoro/rdesktop/index.html ( pulseaudio-libs-devel should be added into build-time dependences and "--with-sound=libpulse" specifued in configure command)
Created attachment 379112 [details] Pulseaudio support patch for rdesktop (writen by Hidekazu Tadokoro)
I've been using this patch for some time and it works fine.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle. Changing version to '13'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
My assumption is that the Assigned To here is either, 1. Deceased, or 2. Not interested.
Or, 3. Assigned To is busy, and has other priorities! My apologies for the earlier remark - I have bugs with no activity for months and assumed otherwise. But I see updates by sandmann as recently as 2010-08-24 09:11:27 EDT. I'll try to help by marking duplicates. Sorry for the noise.
