Kindly consider adding the xrdp pulseaudio source/sink modules into the
pulse ecosystem.
Xrdp is the leading open-source server package enabling remote control
using the RDP protocol of both actual displays and entirely virtual
displays. Unlike the popular VNC protocol (at present), RDP natively
allows filesystems, printers, other devices at the operator's computer
to appear as native devices on the remote server. It also has the
advantage of allowing those limited to closed source osen near native
access to remote open source options.
Presently there are only 'hackish' tcp driver ways to get remote audio
to local users, none of them come and go along with access to the
display, etc.
xrdp also has working pulse-audio source and sink modules which
presently are a 'compile by hand, copy into /usr/lib/pulse-<some number
here>/modules/' item.
Consider whether these ought best be part of native pulseaudio
packages. At the very least, optional packages compiled and released
at the same time as pulseaudio packages. Either way, maintained in
sync with the pulse ecosystem.
The pulseaudio sink/source code is here:

active development / detail re: xrdp is here:

There is an old website re: xrdp, the features mentioned there have been
added to greatly since then.
Thanks,
