Hold on, I'm being stupid. It's pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name="transmit" pactl load-module module-loopback source="<name of your microphone source>" sink="transmit" Then in second terminal: PULSE_SINK=transmit hydrogen If you want to also be able to hear the beat yourself, then instead: pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name="transmit" pactl load-module module-combine-sink sink_name="tee" slaves="transmit,<name of your local soundcard>" pactl load-module module-loopback source="<name of your microphone source>" sink="tee" Then in second terminal: PULSE_SINK=tee hydrogen And in the third terminal: PUSLE_SOURCE=transmit.monitor <your encoder/transmitter> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
