On two of the servers when visiting the above link I have no sound, a session with either the other two servers no problem. On the servers where I have no sound from flash player I can visit www.quicktime.com and watch a movie trailer and steaming sound is not a problem. Also, listening to mp3's or using multimedia software while having a session with a server where I experience no sound from flash player site work fine.

I assume esddsp is used to get flash to play its sound through ThinLinc. 
So I would suggest to start with checking that the script that handles 
firefox startup is identical on all machines.

Also make sure there are no lingering firefox processes. If there is one 
started incorrectly and still around then you won't get a new process, 
only a new window, when you run 'firefox'.

You could also try verifying that all machines have identical packages 
installed (dump `rpm -qa` to file and diff that).
