Yes, thin clients have sound for applications using the sound systems
ESD, ALSA or PulseAudio now (and selected applications using OSS).

Which Youtube video did you test?

> How do I tell if my client is thin or diskless?

If LDM is asking for username and password, you booted as a thin
client.  To switch to boot as a diskless workstation, specify runlevel
3 on the kernel boot line sent to the client.

Happy hacking,
