I've done that 5 years ago, to isolate Windows workstation from the internet. I've used No Machine's NX tools. Very easy to set up. I don't remember if sound was working. However, user's didn't even know that they was running Firefox from another computer. A samba shared directory was used to store the downloaded files. You can also use VNC to export only the desired window (not with the "official" VNC version (realVNC), but with some another ones), but it is not so easy, as the whole desktop is exported at first (I guess).
