Ok, I'm back after researching and trying some things a bit more.

I got this far in following your instructions but got stumped on that
last part about moving the music playback to the VirtualMixer. This
screenshot shows my options for where to direct the Rhythmbox output:

If I select VirtualMixer, playback of the music continues but I can no
longer hear it. Is there a way for me to also hear it through my own
speakers/headset?

I did this part as you described:

The great news is that when I launch Jitsi, the app picks up the music
stream. I confirmed this by joining the video conference from another
device and the music comes through clearly, using the my laptop's
default microphone!

The only issue now is that Jitsi doesn't seem to be picking up my laptop
microphone -- it just picks up the music. Did I do something wrong? If
I can get Jitsi to pick up my microphone AND if I can somehow hear the
music myself, I think we've NAILED this!
Thanks in advance!
