Its something you should report to your distro. paprefs needs to be recompiled when a new major version of pulseaudio is installed. paprefs also checks to make sure it can find the relevent modules needed to enable this feature (in this case, module-tunnel-sink and module-tunnel-source. THese are usually packaged in the main PA package itself rather than split out, but some distros may choose to keep them separate. So either get your distro to recompile paprefs, or install the relevant PA subpackage that contains the the module-tunnel-* modules.
