According to the PulseAudio wiki, audacity doesn't have support for
PulseAudio or esound and you have to talk direct to Alsa on desktops.
This suggests that it's unlikely to be able to play sound on thin clients
at all, though refers to an old version of audacity.

However, apparently on Hardy, some people have managed to get this to work
now in Hardy:
