I can confirm the problem.
The error message is in rdesktop/rdpsnd_alsa.c: printf("Fooo!\n");
When there is a lot of screen updates (video or Flash site), Alsa has problem
catching up as soon as CPU load is more than 50%. If you use PulseAudio, it
makes matters even worse, as Pulse takes CPU of its own.
How to duplicate easily:
- Use rdesktop full screen with "-r sound:local" option
- With Firefox+Flash, go to www.eye4u.com
- Navigate the site
- You should have hundreds of "Fooo!" messages.
Work-around:
- Use /dev/dsp directly (You have to disable pulse first)
asoundconf unset-pulseaudio
killall pulseaudio
rdesktop [...] -r sound:local:oss:/dev/dsp [...]
You will still get some glitches with high load, but "normal" sites
(YouTube for example), will work perfectly.
