Stream audio from VNC/RDP server

My server is running Ubuntu 14.04. My laptop, which is running an RDP client, is also running Ubuntu 14.04. I want to connect to my server and be able to listen to videos over the connection.
How do I stream audio over a remote desktop connection between two Ubuntu machines?
EDIT: I just remembered that on some occasions I'll be using SSH port-forwarding, so any ports beyond 5900/3389 would need to be forwarded (if required).

Unfortunately I have no experience with RDP on Ubuntu (which has audio implemented for Windows) but you still may be interested in my answer there.

The RFB protocol (used by VNC) doesn't support audio, so this is not able to solve the issue.
Any remote desktop-viewing application will not give you a good frame-rate to watch videos.
I recommend looking into streaming the media instead, there are a number of tools available to do this such as plex, and I personally use VLC for this myself.
