I would at least test it with a standard setup and clean the modules later. Just to be on the safe side. When I tested it, I loaded the modules manually and it worked fine. There are a few latency issues in module-loopback and I sent a patch set a while ago which is addressing them, but I doubt that those patches would help in your situation. You can try them however. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.pulseaudio.general/22956 If you have problems downloading I can also send them via mail. Regards Georg
