Choppy audio Silverlight over RDP

Following my recent post regarding Silverlight, unfortunately I have hit disaster.  When the audio starts, it sounds choppy with a double-echo or reverb.  In short it is unusable.  All other audio works fine, even on the same webpage, but as soon as you try and listen to a Silverlight widget it sounds terrible.

FreeRDP

For a long time I have noticed that the pace of development of rdesktop seemed to have slowed, and that the rdesktop-users mailing list had gone quiet.  What I hadn’t noticed until recently is that there is now an alternative called FreeRDP.
