Where does this message appear? SSH station, or media box?
It might be your ssh station that is refusing connection because you didn't allow port forwarding on either the ssh server (media box) or the ssh station.
It is a message from the instance of clementine running via ssh - it displays and functions correctly displayed on the client. The only thing which doesn't work as expected is audio playback.

Well, again, go back and see if your ssh connection is forwarding the proper port for the audio.
Check this site:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Netwo...
Or more tersely: http://superuser.com/questions/231920/forwarding-audio-like-x-in-ssh
I really don't see why that should be relevant. I use:
ssh -X dylan@zen
when I run clementine in that login, it executes *on zen* (the media 'server') and its X display is forwarded to the client. Any audio connection it is trying to make is local to zen. The problem is that pulseaudio does not get run until a user logs in. Once I log in *locally* the instance of clementine running through ssh can play audio correctly. My problem is to get pulseaudio to run system-wide at boot, rather than when a user logs in locally to a graphical login.

Ok. Have it your way. Horse -->| water.
You have completely misunderstood the question, refused to listen to explanations of how you are mistaken, and are now making yourself look like an idiot by being obnoxious about it. Good job.
Thank you - I was beginning to think I had fundamentally misunderstood ssh all these years...
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.
