Mh, this is really strange. I have no idea. Do I understand right that you can sometimes see them and sometimes not?

It is rather the absence of messages in the log. You only get regular reports from one loopback module. The fact that the messages from the second loopback are missing shows that this module is hanging somehow. I have seen this, when the module does not receive data, but there may also be another cause for it. > >> Is there anything in the bluetoothd log? > I didn't found anything fishy, the full bluetoothd log is pated @ http://pastebin.com/5MXugskH > >> I've also seen that you load module-role-cork.

The source output is the connector of a stream to the source and the sink input the connector to the sink. Since a sink can play back multiple streams at the same time, multiple sink inputs can be connected to one sink. Likewise the signal of a source can go to multiple destinations, so a source can be connected to multiple source outputs. In your case you have: bluez_source -> (source_output_1 -> loopback_1 -> sink_input_1) .-> default_sink and PC mic -> (source_output_2 -> loopback_2 -> sink_input_2) -> bluez_sink where the parts within the brackets all belong to module-loopback.
