This is good question. TBH I'm not very familiar with pulse audio, but
after quick research and tests it seems to be an address of the host with
pulseaudio server.
Not sure if it can mean name of the server, not just address.
I made some tests on Debian 7.1 (installed few days ago so it is fresh) and
ffmpeg failed to connect with "-server localhost" option.
After loading a module with
pactl load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=LOCAL_IP
it worked.
I'm not quite sure name is adequate, but in pulse audio API it is called
this way.

It is in bytes, but I rushed with copying it from decoder file. This
parameter is relevant for recording only so I removed it.
There are some option for playback, I will add them later, but they
recommend to use default values anyway.

Rest of remark fixed.
