Just wanted to say that I'm working on a module for unrelated reasons that would probably come in handy here. While some other modules (bluetooth?) may load this module internally as/when they need it, I'm working on a system that would let you define modules to load via a GUI and associate them with sinks/sources etc. that are not currently plugged in (it maintains a history of the sinks/sources it's seen in the past). This GUI would allow you to e.g. define a loopback module definition that works with Source A and Sink B. The loader module will automatically try and load any defined and active module which are not currently loaded every time a new sink/source is detected. This structure shoudl be ideal for people wanting to define custom "pass throughs".
