[pulseaudio-discuss] pacmd ignores PULSE_SERVER env var

Hello,

Following this documentation page https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PulseAudio 
I am setting the PULSE_SERVER env var to point to a pulseaudio server that runs inside a docker container.

Unfortunately the "pacmd" command seems to ignore this env var and query instead the local machine. Am I doing something wrong? Is this the expected behavior?
pactl command works as expected though.

$ pacmd --ver
pacmd 13.99.1
Compiled with libpulse 13.99.0
Linked with libpulse 13.99.0

Best regards,
Tudor
