Rosetta Stone is flash based if I'm not mistaken, I'm guessing that’s
why sound works.

Yes! I was able to run rosetta stone (language tutor) via wine on
Mandrake. I connected to the Mandrake box from a k12ltsp client.  At
that time the sound worked on th client. I would like to do more with
rosetta stone but must first make the sound to work on k12ltsp 4.
