I finally set things up and reproduced this issue. Now the problem is
that the pulseaudio client would try to connect the DISPLAY's
PULSE_SERVER by default at first. So even I set the
PULSE_RUNTIME_PATH, it still use the first config server. Therefore it
results to the original running pulseaudio daemon, now the workaround
is simple I unset the DISPLAY env variable, and it works locally now.
You can unset the DISPLAY and take a try again. The commit is placed
at the top of the branch
