I'm pretty sure WTS does support sound. RDP5, right? That's made me think,
though. I am using a server with WTS on it, and I'm not sure if I have tried
to pipe the sound through one of our LTSP installs... Maybe I'll try that
today.

I'm pretty confident that the hardware and licesing requirements for WTS
become cost-prohibitive pretty quickly. Again, we need to find out.
