something like:

arecord | pacat -p -s 192.168.1.12

If you want multicast, then I would suggest some tool that can send rtp
(which pulse can pick up and play)

Otherwise you could do something fancy with pacmd and load module-tunnel
as needed.

Pulse has no QoS functions. Those should be handled in layers below it.
As with most realtime applications, your primary concern is reducing jitter.
