It has admittedly been over 8 years since I did this but as I recall rdp has the option to allow sound from the remote machine to come through. You will have to look at the documentation to figure out how but it should be possible.

graphics without sound.  To do that, you'd need to run a sound-server
on Windows

and then configure your Linux audio to use that remote server for
sound.  I'm afraid I can't be of much more help than directing you to
the parts since I don't have a configuration in which I can test it.

It might be suitable for streaming audio but I imagine that the audio
latency would be pretty horrible making it difficult to use a
screen-reader unless you have a great deal of patience.

I know that the Remote Desktop (RDP) protocol has provisions for
forwarding the audio too, though it requires a fairly high-bandwidth
connection and would also be subject to latency concerns.
