I didn't check this, but I guess the tunnel sink doesn't shut down the stream when it's not in use, so it transmits silence. There's probably no reason to do that, so filing a ticket for the bug would be a good idea (if no such ticket exists yet). > even if its not working perfectly, i would like to ask how the mic input can be redirected as well. > with the current configuration > (host1 = system that i work on) > (host2 = headless system that does the output and (future) input) What do you mean by "future"?

All devices on host2 should be visible on host1, including microphones. You can check whether the mic is actually available on host1 by running pavucontrol and opening the Input Devices tab. If the mic is there, but your record application still doesn't seem to get any data from there, open the Record tab in pavucontrol while recording, and right click the record stream that should be visible there. The context menu allows you to move the stream to the correct source. That hopefully solves your problem. -- Tanu Kaskinen
