There is apparently a way to send audio packets using RFB that is officially a
part of the RFB spec --
https://github.com/rfbproto/rfbproto/blob/master/rfbproto.rst. I have prior
experience with developing frame-accurate transmission layers for audio and
video, so I think such an extension to TurboVNC would be possible. It would
just take a lot of time to sort out how to sync the audio with the RFB
framebuffer updates on the client side (Java may make this easier, but I
anticipate it being a pain in the butt to implement in the Windows viewer) as
well as how to intercept audio from applications on the server side. The latter
is tricky because Linux has so many different audio interfaces
(http://tuxradar.com/content/how-it-works-linux-audio-explained). It would be
more straightforward to provide support just for a single interface, such as
PulseAudio, but this wouldn't cover all Linux audio-enabled applications.
