Interesting, I'll take a look at it. Maybe I'll actually consider
running vbox on a gnu/linux host too in that case.

Can't speak for rdesktop, I've only done rdp from within windows. I
mentioned a rdp client, because I assumed that rdesktop can do what
the windows rdp client can. If that's not the case as far as sound
goes, then that may not be an option.

So far all the usb devices I tried passing through to a vbox guest
came through. I did see reports now and again from users saying that
this or that usb device doesn't get passed through, but those are rare
it seems.

It should as far as I know, but I don't have new enough hardware to
run kvm on, so can't vouch for it.
