Hello,
Section 5.4.2 of the Gemini spec states:
clients MUST NOT automatically make any network connections as part of
displaying links whose scheme corresponds to a network protocol
So Gemini clients can display things however they want, but you can't make a compliant client that automatically loads images.
My question is - would it be against gemini protocol to build a browser that
would be able to open audio files or http audio streams as well as image files
in the same window? Or - has this already been done?
In the same window? Sure! Just not automatically. The Lagrange client already does this with audio and images. If you click a link that leads to one of those file types, it will open a player or image viewer inline with the document.

Hope this answers your question.
