I have use server for listening music via mpd, it is without monitor and keyboard. And I need GUI tool for change per-channel volume of audio (5.1 sound) on remote pulseaudio server. pavucontrol is best solution, but I can't find the way how connect it to the remote pulseaudio server instead of local. Can you add command line option or gui selection tool for selecting pulseaudio server for connecting? Also will be good to see this option in paman and other utilites too.
Try starting pavucontrol as: PULSE_SERVER=<address of remote server> pavucontrol
I try this, but it isn't work normally. For example, I have pulseaudio server at 192.168.1.5 and run this on clinet 192.168.1.6 I type: $ PULSE_SERVER=192.168.1.5 pavucontrol It starts, but I see only "Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait..." sting in window and that's all, no timeout or connection errors. But I find the problem - by default tcp protocol is disabled, I have add it via string: load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1;192.168.0.0/16 in "system.pa" file (I use system mode).
