Monitors allow you to hear what is coming out of a speaker (think of a band playing at a live gig, they use monitors to hear their own playing). So for every output sink there is a "monitor" source that goes with it. If you were to record from a monitor and then play some audio you should hear that coming back in. It's odd that things are not working tho' :s Perhaps the live CD uses tsched=0 mode in it's default.pa? The output from pacmd list again on the live cd should provide a good comparison.
