Yes I do have patches, but I'm yet to get it to work reliably enough for
anyone to use for real. eg any time there are large frambuffer updates
due to, say, dragging a window around, audio will drop out.  Until I can 
prove that it is even semi-reliable I'm not going to include the code in
gtk-vnc, because I don't want to commit to supporting something that may
well be fundamentally broken/unusable for live audio playback.

Daniel
