I'm far from being a pulseaudio expert, but I remember someone wrote that this 
can't be done transparently for now.
However, doesn't pulseaudio listen on a TCP port? If so, let's assume this port 
to be 1234, then something along the lines of this should work :

client>$ ssh -R 1234:localhost:1234 server
...
server>$ export PULSE_SERVER=localhost:1234
(I'm not sure about the name of the env variable)

Yves.
