It sounds like you want to stream the microphone audio from one machine
to the speakers of another machine. Does module-waveout also provide a
source? "waveout" sounds like it's only for output, but I don't know for
sure.

Assuming that module-waveout actually provides a source, you should load
module-tunnel-source on the speaker machine and point it to the
microphone machine. Now you have a proxy source on the speaker machine,
and the remaining task is to get the audio from the proxy source to the
local sink. That can be done by loading module-loopback on the speaker
machine.
