Arguments in ltsp-init-common and/or lts.conf related to sound isn't honored by fat clients. (LTSP-related)

[niplas]

Hi

[Seen in Edubuntu 11.10 LTSP configuration, server lacks soundcard]

It appears that all valid arguments in lts.conf related to sound isn't honored at all by fat clients.
Nor is the defaults of volume settings at 90% in ltsp-init-common in the case of no sound arguments in lts.conf
(also tried a couple of supposedly valid translated channel variable names with no success)

       SOUND
( SOUND_DAEMON : haven't tried all possible configurations with this one)
       VOLUME
       HEADPHONE_VOLUME
       PCM_VOLUME
       CD_VOLUME
       FRONT_VOLUME
       MIC_VOLUME

All settings tested; Y /true /N /False and three different integers between 10 and 90 for each volume
Tested on a variety of machines using the following lts.conf:
(all machines in FAT client mode, all with different chipsets/soundcards)

[default]
  NBD_SWAP=True
  DNS_SERVER=192.168.100.1
  TIMESERVER=192.168.100.1
  SOUND=True
  VOLUME=10
  SPEAKER_VOLUME=10
  PCM_VOLUME=10
  CD_VOLUME=10
  FRONT_VOLUME=10
# MASTER_MONO_VOLUME=100
# MASTER_MONO_PLAYBACK_SWITCH=on
# MASTER_MONO_PLAYBACK_VOLUME=30
# MONO_VOLUME=30
# MONO_PLAYBACK_VOLUME=30
  X_RAMPERC=95
  X_NUMLOCK=True
  X_BLANKING=600
  LDM_DIRECTX=True
  LDM_LANGUAGE=sv_SE.UTF-8
  SSH_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS=False
  LDM_SESSION="gnome-session --session=gnome-fallback"
  LDM_LIMIT_ONE_SESSION=True
  LDM_THEME=ltsp
# FAT_RAM_THRESHOLD=500 "this setting made 512MB clients go thin" reverting to default (300(?))
