OK, so I looked at the code and I think I know what's going on here.
If you have the sound option set to either "Play on remote host" or
"Play on this host", the session is also being set to use the -0 option
of rdesktop. This causes your session to connect to the console instead
of as a normal connection. Since there can only be 1 console user at a
time, you are seeing the prompt that was mentioned above.
FWIW, if the sound option is set to "No sound output", the -0 (console)
option is not being added.
I don't know why the original program authors felt it was necessary to
force connections with sound to attach to the console. I know this is
not required for the windows RDP client (mstsc.exe)
I am reluctant to change this for fear of breaking something I don't
understand. As a workaround, you can set the sound option to "No sound
output" which I feel should stop it from connecting to the console.
