A couple of ways to play sound from Windows PC to Linux PulseAudio Server

  1. streaming through tunnel and play remotely via pacat. That way will create a lag due to delay in network connection.

  2. download/configure from here windows binaries of PulseAudio (mingw) and play sound using local pacat through native protocol for PA. This should help avoid lags made by network...but some lags can leave to start that routine.

Command example: Client:

ffmpeg -i some-audion.mp3 -f s16le -acodec pcm_s16le -|pacat -s PAServer-IP --playback

Server:

I: [(null)] pulsecore/protocol-native.c: Final latency 2250.00 ms = 1960.00 ms + 2*20.00 ms + 250.00 ms
