Your experiment with windows's rdp client tells you the the problem is 
not on the server.

It could be rdesktop OR it could be the client's sound setup.

I think you should do an experiment with local sound generation 
(eliminating rdp from the mix).  If that sounds crappy it might be 
something like having the gain too high in the mixer, or using the wrong 
driver for the sound hardware, etc.
