No, that is for the reverse situation: sending the audio from a source to a sink. You have the case that you want to send audio from a program that connects to a sink (totem) to a program that uses a source (empathy). > However I just cannot guess how/what to fiddle with. > > After loading module-loopback the recording tab in pavucontrol gets > "Loopback to Internal Audio Analog Stereo from" and I get to choose from > "Internal Audio Analog Stereo", "Monitor of Internal Audio Analog Stereo", > "Monitor Source of Simultaneous Output to Internal Audio Analog Stereo". > These show when I select either "Show All Streams" or "Show Virtual > Strems", however nothing is shown in "Applications".

Is there an online example of this? Use module-null-sink. If this is loaded, you can move Totem to it using pavucontrol.
