For Debian and Ubuntu RDP servers I have used the 'xRDP – Easy install’ script from C-NERGY.BE (https://c-nergy.be/blog/?cat=79) to quickly setup xRDP properly with sound. You need a graphical installation of Debian/Ubuntu with sudo working before running the script with the -s sound option. This helps installing recent xRDP with sound support.
Microsoft Windows and Mac RDP clients work with sound using this setup. Maybe a good starting point before Guacamole testing.
