Are there any specific advantages on vnc that would make it better than rdesktop? I know vnc has right click and rdesktop doesn't, mut I've survived without it, since otherwise rdesktop works really well for me.

I'm mainly interested if vnc could work as a remote, as atleast when using rdesktop it mutes the sounds. would be awesome if from the couch I could put musics on for example, or put a movie on. Actually even now I can do those things, but I don't get sounds..
