[pulseaudio-discuss] pavucontrol -- server selection?

[Matthew Patterson]

I believe you can just specify the environment variables and then run 
the app. So try this:

export PULSE_SERVER=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Another variable option is PULSE_SINK. I forget where I found this 
little tidbit, but it works for me!
