vnc does not and most likely will not support audio (beyond 'beep').

vnc does support some video as long as it is not accelerated by any means:
vnc reads the video memory hence the video needs to be stored in the video
memory. Then there is such a thing as the video refresh rate. Don't expect a
better refreshrate than once a second.

I don't know details but I'm sure there are better protocols to put audio
and video streams over the network. I expect even free implementations of
such protocols.
