The first application that tried to use pulseaudio after you removed
"default-server" from client.conf autospawned the daemon, most likely.
(I don't know what you mean by "non-daemon" - it's a daemon if it runs
in the background.)

Yes, load module-combine-sink on the Linux machine. By default it will
play to all outputs, but if you want to choose only specific sinks, you
can use the "slaves" argument.
