Perhaps Richard was referring to pre-module-loopback days (i.e. before the module was included). In theory, you can just do "parec | pacat" but it's really not a good solution as it doesn't deal with clock deviation etc. But most stable versions of most distros include looback module now I think. Do you need to support older distros specifically or is this just a "nice to have" feature?
