I'd like to use pulseaudio to stream audio to different computers in my house and I'm exactly not sure how to set that up.. I can get the audio to play on a remote computer but then it doesn't play on the local xbmc. I'm hoping that someone who has already done this could help me out. Or point me in the right direction.

on xbmcbuntu
to /etc/pulse/default.pa I added

Code:

load-module module-esound-protocol-tcp auth-anonymous=1
load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1;192.168.0.0/16

I used paprefs and checked the boxes

Code:

Make discoverable PulseAudio network sound devices available locally
and
add virtual output device

on the client I changed /etc/pulse/client.conf

Code:

; default-server = tcp:192.168.1.40:4713

I used paprefs and checked the all the boxes under "network server" tab

Okay I got it working but there is quite the lag. It seems I wanted Multicast/RTP. on the XMBC computer I enabled Multicast/RTP by installing paprefs and enabled "Multicast/RTP Sender" and selected "seend audio from local speakers". On the other computer I enabled "Multicast/RTP Receiver" and then you can mute and umute it from pavucontrol.
