what specific applications work? are they GNOME applications configured to use
esound or pulseaudio?

/usr/share/doc/ltsp-server/README.Debian.sound documents how to enable the
pulseaudio -> ALSA compatibility layer. did you follow those instructions?

do you also have ltsp-server-standalone installed?

i see that you are using the backported packages, would you be able to try LTSP
on lenny (both server and client), and see if you have the same issue?

live well,
