I've similiar issue as Pavel described. Running 9.10 on both LTSP server and in chroot. However I had no problem before the upgrade (when we were using Jaunty). :-o I've noticed that the sound problem occurs mostly while watching videos in various FlashPlayer based video players on the web. It's not just YouTube, but any kind of video sharing sites. And once the sound is gone, it's gone globally (not just Firefox and the FlashPlayer). I've noticed on the client after the sound was gone that the pulseaudio process disappeared. However I've no clue on the reason ... there're no helpful entries in any of the logfiles in /var/log. :-(
I've found a few interesting entries from the time when the thinclient booted up and pulseaudio was started: Jan 18 10:45:54 tc-004 pulseaudio[2557]: main.c: Running in system mode, but --disallow-exit not set!
