Well, not quite.

Specifically, applications that request pulseaudio (via dbus, IIUC) will cause
it to start automatically, regardless of whether they're graphical or not
(e.g., on my home server MPD causes pulseaudio to start). This can, however,
be prevented by setting "autospawn=no" in .config/pulse/client.conf.

I have no experience here, sorry.

Well, at minimum media-sound/pulseaudio. I'm not sure of anything to
recommend here, so I'll defer to the Gentoo wiki:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PulseAudio. Also see the upstream documentation:
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/. In
particular check out the module documentation, since if you go the pulseaudio
route you'll probably be setting up a tunnel, so I would suggest searching
there for "tunnel" (although I'm not up to speed on what's currently possible
in PA land, so maybe there's a better way).
