Looks like it's still quite a ways from handling audio.

    [The] initial version is video only as that is the most
    urgent thing we need supported for Flatpaks and Wayland. So
    audio is completely unaffected by this for now and rolling
    that out will require quite a bit of work as we do not want
    to risk breaking audio on your system as a result of this
    change. We know that for many the original rollout of
    PulseAudio was painful and we do not want a repeat of that
    history.
