Currently, there is (normally) a very short latency between the mixing stage and the sound coming out of the speaker. This allows you to manipulate individual streams (e.g. change volume) and get immediate feedback. If you move the mixing to before the large buffers required for the network, you lose that. What you can do with what you have today is to set up a pulse server on the client side. You'll get something like this: [ HW ] - [ Pulse server #1 ] -------- [ Pulse server #2 ] - [ Clients ] I.e. use module-tunnel to connect the two pulse servers. You'd have to set up a tunnel for each sink though.
