On the server, there is no soundcard and no /dev/dsp...
Maybe this is the problem.

But the thinclient has a soundcard and a /dev/dsp. The user works on the
client as root (this is normal on this type of thinclient), so I don't
think there is a problem on the client.

Do I need a soundcard or a /dev/dsp on the server?
