Comment(by coling):
@gauss: Just don't talk directly to the remote side. Always create a local
PA daemon even if there is no physical h/w. Pulseaudio automatically loads
a "Null sink" when no real hardware is present (I could easily make it do
the same with sources if there were a null source module!).
By always talking to the local PA daemon there is a much reduced
likelihood of any problems. You can then load a tunnel sink to the remote
machine and output to the right place as you desire. If there are any
network issues, the sink will unload (TCP connection broken) and the auto-
null sink will kick in (i.e. exactly what you suggest).
