I have not used pulseaudio server/client functionality. I have used pulse
audio to get system audio and specific application audio output in Firefox
and streamed that data to Chrome and Chromium, which does not support
capturing system audio.

One option would be to serve the audio data using parec or parecord from

where

request and receive PCM or PCM re-encoded to a different codec.

This can be achieved using a server-client template, e.g., fetch('/
http://localhost:1234?device=microphone'), parse the PCM response at the
client containers
https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api-v2/issues/97#issue-688754941.
Other means of achieving the requirement include using WebRTC
PeerConnection

PulseAudio has a WebRTC Audio Processing component though I have not tried
that either. See also https://github.com/aiortc/aiortc;
