Did you read https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/SystemWide/ Have you created the necessary user and groups and added the local user to the pulse-access group? Also, you should start PA really as root. The sudo command you give further down will pass the user environment to the daemon. So "su - root" (not simply "su root") and then start PA instead of using sudo. To test your setup, please use paplay instead of aplay. aplay is an alsa tool. >> >> As I said there, I have installed `omxplayer`.

Did you check that 192.168.14.0/24 is the correct network for you? Do you have the avahi daemon running on client and server? Do you need it at all? From what you are writing above, I guess that auto discovery is not necessary in your setup. Then you don't need avahi (at least not for PA) and the zeroconf modules. On the client machine, you should only need to do something like: pacmd load-module module-tunnel-sink server=192.168.x.y sink_name=remote_sink sink="the name of the sink on the remote machine" Replace server= and sink= with the appropriate values for your setup. Then you should see a sink "remote_sink" on your client.
