Actually, it seems that global loading of the Avahi module via /etc/pulse/default.conf was somehow removed in a recent upload of PulseAudio. No warning was issued to the user about this change. It was only upon grepping for avahi in /etc/pulse/* that I noticed that it was gone. I'm really wondering why, since detection of remote sinks does not result in any automatic connection.
