Wayland complicates things somewhat, and I don't know if we've got anything for sharing the whole display yet. Your best bet for using the laptop's mic and speakers would probably be emulating a bluetooth headset, but I've not tried that since before the PinePhone existed. It used to work...mostly. In theory you could share audio over the network via PulseAudio, but I think you'd need some work on the audio profiles at the phone end to get the audio routing to work for calls.

I have full display sharing working using wayvnc. It's not available as a package last time I checked so it has to be built from sources. Works quite well, but video only, no audio.

On the other hand, while X forwarding works for individual applications the performance is terrible. (The X wire protocol is ancient and it's a pig.)
