You don't need a soundcard on the server if setup with a dummy ALSA device. You do need ESD or pulseaudio setup properly on the server/client as well I believe for NX to work. Why Flash doesn't come over by default is because it uses OSS instead of ALSA, so in order to get that working you need the ALSA OSS emulator installed on the server. Don't ask me how to do it, I am trying to forget even having tried it and when it was working quality was terrible and control was touchy. Your definitely better using Fedora for the server here as sound support in CentOS stinks, but then again I don't use it for sound and video support. Google Flash and ALSA and prepare to go down a rat hole on this. -Ross
