Launch PulseAudio Preferences, go to the 'Network Server' tab, and check the 'Enable network access to local sound devices' checkbox [1] Restart your computer. (Only restarting Pulseaudio didn't work for me on Ubuntu 14.10) Install Pulseaudio in your container, e.g. Sudo apt-get install -y pulseaudio. To use a professional audio interface in Windows you will need to download the drivers from the manufacturers web site and install them. These will almost certainly include an ASIO driver. This type of special driver created by Steinberg will bypass the operating system as much as is possible and enable low latency high quality sound.
- Setting Up PulseAudio on Windows. Setting up PulseAudio on Windows is quite straightforward: Download the pre-built binary package from the PulseAudio website. Extract the files to the location you prefer. You should see four folders named bin, etc, lib, and share. Edit the configuration files in etc.
- Install Pulseaudio with system-wide equalizer support in Ubuntu Ubuntu 13.04, 13.10 and 14.04 users don't have to add the PPA - you can simply download qpaeq (the equalizer) and place it in you path, like /usr/local/bin for example, and make it executable.
With help I received in this question, I set up all my Ubuntu computers so that they all access a central computer for sound output, using Pulse Audio Preferences.
I have some Windows computers as well. I was wondering if it is also possible to make them clients of the sound server computer, so that they will send their sound output over the network to be played by the Ubuntu computer running the Pulse audio sound server.
And if so, how?
Update:
I came across this promising web page with instructions for getting a Windows computer to send audio to an Ubuntu Pulseaudio server, but it's too deep in technobabble for me to parse it into instructions to follow. http://t.motd.kr/en/archives/2228

Vladimir PanteleevI would use something else that's established for broadcast, like Icecast. Windows has plenty of clients that can pick up a Icecast stream.
Takkat has already written a fairly decent set of options for routing PulseAudio over Icecast. That should get you up and running.
Alternatively there are PulseAudio binaries for Windows. I've no idea how well they work, if at all, so your mileage may vary.
There's a product called Airfoil the application needs to be installed on both machines. The Debs for linux are HERE it's a paid program but there is a free trial. or use Icecast
use http://bosmans.ch/pulseaudio/pulseaudio-1.1.zip unzip, edit files as this says: https://parseq.co.uk/wordpress/archives/setting-up-pulseaudio-1-0-beta-for-windows then run binpulseaudio.exe ignore the arugments given in the webpage
