Hi Phil,

I'm glad it's all sorted. Pulseaudio can be a bit of a pain to get 
working sometimes - but it is also capable of wonderful things - such as 
sending sound over the network to be played on another computer - which 
is what I use it for, effectively turning a pair of amplified speakers 
attached to my server into wifi speakers.

Glad it's working,

Sebastian
