KRDC no longer working for RDP?

I updated a while back and since then KRDC has not worked for my RDP connections. It allows me to enter my credentials then sits on a blue screen. Using the core "rdesktop" command from the command-line works flawlessly. I have found threads on other forums about this exact issue, but it is supposedly fixed by 4.13. This may not be the case in Gentoo. A thread I found on another forum (Slackware IIRC) stated that either KRDC or FreeRDP had changed the way parameters were used and that was the issue. A patch was provided for that distro and all was good. I will try to find the thread again. In the meantime, what is going on here?

Actually, I was struggling with the same issue here.

First, it turns out that KRDC stopped to use rdesktop, so i realized that testing rdesktop wouldnt not help. So even though KRDC was built with +rdesktop, it doesnt use it but use freerdb instead.

Then i put krdc in debugmode via kdebugdialog, and started krdc in command line. I realize that it didnt built up the command line for freerdp correctly.

After playing around i saw that the issue was related with the sound output.

If I pick "remote sound", than the command line is fine and it is working; however most of the time, i use "disable sound" as I dont want to transfer audio eitherway, which generates a buggy commandline:
