In the same way that you are telling x11grab that your display is at
":2020", you need to tell the pulse grabber that your pulseaudio server
is at a specific location.

For doing that, the easiest way is to run this command from within the
desktop session, as this will have the correct environment variables
already setup.

Alternatively, you can extract those environment variables from your
desktop session and use them with your ffmpeg command line.

I have not tested it, but this one might be enough:
xpra info | grep env.PULSE_SERVER

Cheers,
Antoine
