Update: I got pulseaudio working as the logged in user. I killed the system mode pulseaudio server on the client and then started it again in user mode as the logged in user using this command: /usr/bin/pulseaudio \ -L "module-esound-protocol-tcp auth-anonymous=1" \ -L "module-native-protocol-tcp auth-anonymous=1" \ The good news is it ran fine and I was able to use paplay on the server to get audio to play on the client. pavucontrol running on the server also worked to control the volume on the client. Unfortunately pacmd (the app I really wanted to work) still fails. It probably needs "module-native-protocol-unix auth-anonymous=1" but that fails to load, apparently because it is already loaded but without the "auth-anonymous=1". Still working on how to solve that one. Some digging revealed that the start_sound function is called from /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/sbin/ltsp-client-launch which unfortunately appears to be run as root. As such pulseaudio in user mode could no longer be started there. I have no understanding of how ConsoleKit normally starts pulseaudio for non-LTSP users and I certainly don't know if/how that could be made to work for an LTSP client. Any tips here would be appreciated. For now maybe I will just make a small patch to the ltsp-client-launch script so it doesn't start pulseaudio at all and then create a ltsp-localapps script in the user's autostart directory to launch pulseaudio as the user. If/when I get it all working I'll post what I did in case anyone else is interested.
