YES.  Sorry, I didn't mean to hell.

Yes, just root.

"(per-user)".  (Scratch my head).  Sorry I don't understand.  On the
"Old X Client Box" X Terminal I am not intending to have users other
than root.

In /etc/pulse/default.da I have:
load-module module-x11-publish

The logs don't look pretty though:

pulseaudio[29098]: module.c: Failed to load  module
"module-x11-publish" (argument: ""): initialization failed.

I sit at the X terminal.  I would only "SSH to "App server"" by going
to a virtual console logging in and then "SSH to "App server"".  I
don't know why I would do that.  What tends to happen is the X server
on the X terminal gets a screen from xdm on the application
server.  To establish Pulseaudio on the Xterminal I SSH from the App
server to the X terminal.  Gmplayer runs on the application server and
I want to be able to hear it, as well as see it, on the X terminal.

Thanks for you help Guys.
