The remote desktop works great except there is no sound on the remote session. I looked into this and found out that freeNX uses ESD to transfer sound through the session. But ESD has been replaced with pulsaudio on Ubuntu. I don't want to used ESD. I want to use Pulsaidio (as this is now used instead).

If you want to install PulseAudio on Windows, see
http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/WindowsSupport. Enable
module-native-protocol-tcp with arguments that allow your Linux PC to
connect. http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/Modules#module-native-protocol-unixtcp
If you then set the PULSE_SERVER environment variable to the name/IP
of your Windows PC, all applications should connect to that computer
for playing sound.

If NX only has ESD, that means it is crappy and outdated. You can try
to make it work without installing pulse on the windows box by using
http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/Modules#module-esound-sink on the Linux
side.
