heck, I didn't think sound worked particularly well for windows to
windows RDP sessions so consider me shocked that it worked with the
Linux RDP client.

You don't give much details (i.e. which fedora, which sound daemon you
are using) so it would take a crystal ball to give you much in terms of
useful info, but then again, I've never tried to use sound via Linux RDP
so I wouldn't be much help.

Did you enable 'network sound' ? (esd or via kcontrol?)
