The problem is that a IPv6 link local destination require the interface to be
specified.

If you manually load module-tunnel-sink with exact same arguments that failed
but with the address suffixed with "%eth0" (or whatever interface it is on) it
will load fine.  For example

$ pacmd
Welcome to PulseAudio! Use "help" for usage information.
>>> load-module module-tunnel-sink server=[fe80::21f:e2ff:fe5c:1e2%eth0]:4713 sink=alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo format=s16le channels=2 rate=44100 sink_name=tunnel.hermes.local.alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo channel_map=front-left,front-right

I notice that "avahi-browse -a" shows interfaces.  Presumably then, avahi makes
this information is available, so not including the interface suffix on IPv6
link local address is a bug in the zeroconf modules.

Cheers!  -Tyson
