Ubuntu – Can a Windows computer access Pulse sound server on an Ubuntu computer

networkingpulseaudiowindows

With help I received in this question, I set up all my Ubuntu computers so that they all access a central computer for sound output, using Pulse Audio Preferences.

I have some Windows computers as well. I was wondering if it is also possible to make them clients of the sound server computer, so that they will send their sound output over the network to be played by the Ubuntu computer running the Pulse audio sound server.

And if so, how?

Update:

I came across this promising web page with instructions for getting a Windows computer to send audio to an Ubuntu Pulseaudio server, but it's too deep in technobabble for me to parse it into instructions to follow. http://t.motd.kr/en/archives/2228

Please take a look at this section of PulseAudio FAQ.
