OP: Why bother with PA at all? Surely it would be easier just to use alsa directly?
I want to be able to balance audio from various sources and pass them to different outputs without all the fiddling around with jack which is massively over-specified for my needs. PA does that fine for me - I have the motherboard audio device, a soundcard, and a usb-audio mixer (each connected to a separate amp) which together with PA allows me to route audio from software or external input(s) to various parts of the flat dynamically - but currently only from the server itself.
Interesting. I can't help with PA specifically as I generally find it causes more problems than it solves, but I'd probably start by looking at what gets run in a full session - any PA related processes, any relevant environment variables, possibly dbus, including all arguments. Then I'd try putting all those into a script and running that in my ssh command rather than just running Clementine as a single command.
I hadn't thought about that - will have a look at that. Should be able to have a script run at login to check if it's running and start it if not.
If that doesn't prove fruitful, I'd seriously consider the possibility of changing the approach to the problem. For example, run a full desktop session via xvnc and keep that running persistently, then connect to that in place of 'ssh -X user@host clementine'. (I can be more specific about that if you do end up going in this direction.)
