Bug Description
rdesktop uses the obsolete /dev/dsp sound API. Among other problems, this prevents
sharing of the soundcard without having to use a sound server. No program in a modern
distro should still be using this API, it should use ALSA.
root@chronopolis:~# strings /usr/bin/rdesktop | grep dsp
/dev/dsp
esddsp
OSS output driver, default device: /dev/dsp or $AUDIODEV
root@chronopolis:~# ldd /usr/bin/rdesktop | grep asound
root@chronopolis:~# strings /usr/bin/rdesktop | grep asound
root@chronopolis:~# strings /usr/bin/rdesktop | grep alsa
