Why is there no sound in steam Remote Play?

I use a Windows 7 Host with an Nvidia card (hardware encoding) and had no sound streaming some games to Mac/SteamOS clients (both hardware decoding).

At the moment, if Steam is muted there will be no audio streamed from that machine (yes, I know that sounds backwards!). Unmute it and you should be able to hear audio. Audio streaming support is only available on Windows Vista and later.
