[Bug 1370] sound should work on thin clients

Philipp Hübner, Vagrant Cascadian and I have been drafting a solution
for the audio problem, and a fix was just uploaded to lenny-test.
Philipp verified that $PULSE_SERVER is set when one log into a thin
client, and also worked with me to come up with configuration for ALSA
to enable pulseaudio when loggin in from a thin client. With this in
place, all applications using ALSA should work on thin clients. Tried
to get KDE to use ALSA this way, but that did not work, so KDE is
still using ESD on thin clients.
For applicatoins using /dev/dsp (OSS), I've added a script
debian-edu-ltsp-audiodivert to divert the binaries and replace it with
a wrapper using padsp. This is now done for audacity and gtick.
Philipp tested audio in the browser, and verified that sound work on a
thin client if it also work on the local machine.
We have yet to test if the uploaded packages work, but when testing is
done I believe we can consider this issue to be fixed.
Everything but the diverted binaries are enabled on upgrades. To enable the
diverted binaries, the script need to be executed.
