The problem is *not* integration into an NX client/server. After all,
it's just some TCP port that has to be tunneled. As an author of an
NX-Client myself (OpenNX), I naturally want to support multiple
platforms where Windows as well as OSX are major targets. Early this
year, I invested considerable time trying to build a stable PulseAudio
on Windows (using mingw both natively and cross-compiling) - without any
luck. Unfortunately, the only version of PulseAudio that works
(partially stable) on Windows is an ancient 0.9.6. Even *that* version
is only available as a binary from Cendio - The sources that are
available are however incomplete (The included libatomic_ops doesn't
even build). Although the PulseAudio website *claims* Windows being a
supported OS, that is definitively *not* the case. Looking at the source
of more recent versions, it appears, that the PulseAudio developers have
lost their interest for supporting Windows anymore. (More and more
Linux-specific changes).

Therefore:
Until *current* PulseAudio supports at least Linux+OSX+Windows, there's
no chance.

Cheers
