Does anybody know if there's any plans to support audio through the X protocol as well?

About 8 years ago when I was sitting in front of an X terminal, I was able to listen to music played by a program running on the Solaris server. However, I don't know what kind of protocol was used between the (diskless) X terminal and the server.

It was probably NAS, which was developed long ago by NCD for their X terminals.
