Does sound actually work (i.e., do you hear anything) in Tux Paint over
LTSP when "--nosound" is not being used? If so, there could be a crash
happening when it cannot find a sound device. (We've noticed an issue with
SDL recently regarding crashes and missing sound devices.)

So any other SDL based apps exhibit similar behavior (high CPU usage,
crash on exit) when run over LTSP? Does asking them to not use sound
help them, too?

Thanks much,
