The server running vagalume is stock Debian Wheezy, updated as of 4/26/2013:

k9$ pulseaudio --version
pulseaudio 2.0
k9$ 

Talking to Squeeze 6.0.6:

term1$ pulseaudio --version
pulseaudio 0.9.21-rebootstrapped-dirty
term1$ 

I got the pulseaudio daemon to load the TCP module and could then play with
PULSE_SERVER set to 127.0.0.1.  Since this is quite suggestive, I brought up
a newer station with Ubuntu 12.04 and was able to play over the net to it
as well.

So it looks like the pulseaudio sink module in gstreamer is doing something
which is not compatible with the older pulseaudio daemon of Debian Squeeze.
This would be moderately bad, except that I can tell Vagalume to use
alsa, and alsa's backend pulseaudio support will still talk to Squeeze.

Anyway, I'm glad the bug is now dialed down to a more specific scenario.
I'll be happy to help if you need anything else.
