[Lubuntu] No pulseaudio explains no local sound on LTSP clients?

Wed Oct 3 02:33:37 UTC 2012

There's no pulse-audio on lubuntu by default. I know that because in my
Samsung laptop (in wich Linux works horribly) I had to install PulseAudio
to get to work the sound (can't figure why with Alsa it does not work and
with PulseAudio isntalled it does... ??? )
