Is audio playback on desktop-lite possible?

Hey team! Great work on the desktop-lite on codespaces!

Although I have a question, is there any way to enable audio playback on desktop-lite?

For context, I develop a Chrome extension which core functionality revolves around playing audio, so audio support inside VNC would be greatly appreciated.

Hi 👋

Thanks for the suggestion. @Chuxel do you have any insights on this?

Right now, the feature is using TigerVNC which does not support audio extensions yet AFAIK https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/issues/1211

There's no offical standard on VNC audio, but supposedly Real VNC Server/Client support it - https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/audio but I have not tried to set this up and it is under a proprietary license I believe. XRDP may also support audio but that would require more work to get going.
