Which Ubuntu version are you using; 32- or 64-bits?

A few things to check:

* Verify that padsp is actually installed. On 12.04, it's in the 
pulseaudio-utils package.

* If you are using the ThinLinc RDP support (tl-run-rdesktop etc), make 
sure that the Application Server Group entry contains sound=auto or 
sound=padsp. If calling rdesktop manually, add padsp to the beginning of 
the command line.
