The problem was user braindamage: At some point I'd switched over to using the short form of the --server option (-s), but forgot to remove the "=", so was issuing cmds like this $ pactl -s=hostA Evidently "=hostA" is not flagged as an invalid host specifier. (Still 100% my fault for the stupid mistake, just sayin...) Apologies for wasting your time.
