Audio support? #237

Description

@geekley

Is your feature request about the Desktop Multivnc or the Mobile MultiVNC?
All versions. Mainly both from F-Droid and Flathub.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be great to be able to stream audio as well with the video, so this would increase the app's capabilities as a sort of remote desktop solution.

Describe the solution you'd like
Just basic audio streaming. If additional features are possible, perhaps also:

  • control volume and mute from client
  • options like mono/stereo channels, quality configurable from the client
  • microphone streaming (client to server)

Describe alternatives you've considered
None. Does the VNC protocol support audio in any way? I've tried searching it, but didn't come to a conclusion. Apparently there's some (paid?) solutions which support/implement "audio extensions" to VNC, but I have no idea how that works.

Additional context
I'm looking mainly for a way to stream Android to/from PC. I also don't know if there's free apps for VNC server that transmit audio. Sorry if this is out-of-scope for VNC, as I'm not too familiar with this technology to understand if it's even feasible; or how much can be done in the client app alone.
