Michael, I have been hoping someone would explain nasd for a while, I 
just don't understand what it is or does.  I have sound working with esd 
as the sound daemon, but not with flash sites (no sound in flash)

If you use "esd" instead of "nasd" -- and then reboot the thin client, 
try (in an xterm) typing "esdplay soundfile.wav" and see if you get the 
sound to play.  If so, then you have working sound, and can configure 
any application that supports esd to use it.

Thunderbird email seems to just magically work without configuring for 
esd specifically.  Mplayer (video player, awesome, worth the compile) 
works if set to use esd, xmms works if set to use esd (or esound, it's 
the same thing esd=esound), etc, etc.

If you get any other info, I'm very interested as well.

-Shawn
