RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Can you try starting it like this:
xfreerdp --plugin rdpsnd --data pulse: -- addr.to.the.win.machine.com
Note the colon after "pulse".
On my system, this stops the segfaulting, but I don't have working sound, so I can't verify that it actually works.

Soren we can close this bz in case we document it ideally in man page.

I don't think the --data argument is needed at all. If you simply use
"--plugin rdpsnd", the pulseaudio plugin will be used. There is no need for the data argument at all.
Can you verify that
xfreerdp --plugin rdpsnd -- addr.to.the.win.machine.com
works?
If so, I'll add a list of supported plugins to the man page; that should be sufficient documentation considering that the "--data" argument isn't mentioned elsewhere.

OK I give it a try, so running it right:
xfreerdp --plugin rdpsnd lab-winxp-1.gsslab.rdu2.redhat.com
it works perfectly
