Sound through VNC

[KleinByte]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In the evermore remote working increase, it might be a good idea to implement sound over vnc.
In my situation, I have a surface device from msft that can't boot linux. I use tigervnc to connect to my linux server at home. It would be nice if I could hear sound.

Describe the solution you'd like
TigerVNC sends sound over along with display.

Describe alternatives you've considered
There are other solutions that have implemented this like realVNC. But I'd much rather support this team and their open source work, (Pretty sure fedora guys work on this?)

Additional context
I dont know how complex the solution would be, I'd assume the hard work is in creating a virtual audio driver for the os to recognize. Not sure. Thanks Guys.

This would be a GREAT feature.

Client side support for QEMU's audio extension is happening in #1478.

I'm also hoping to see this feature one day! Thank you to all the contributors!

2 years later, has this been implemented? I'm assuming no, as the issue is still open, but I thought I'd ask

[CendioOssman]

No, I'm afraid there hasn't been any progress on this. #1478 is also awaiting more attention, so if someone has time to test and review, then that can help things along.

Ok, thanks, I could check it out, I'm more of a Linux user, but I can still look through it.
