I looked at this better today and found out that the reason the loopback
sound stops is that the pulseaudio servers exits. It thinks it is idle.
It looks like when some sounds go over loopback (or pavumeter) it is not
considered a usefull work (the message was: "core.c: We are idle,
quitting..."). But when some sounds go from some other apllication (like
e.g. xmms) or when pavucontrol is running then it is considered a
usefull work and the server does not get idle. This looks like a bug to
me. Streaming sounds over loopback is definitely usefull work for me.
Should this be reported as a bug?
Is there some workaround, some way to make pulseaudio server not to
detect idling?
Hmm, this does indeed look like some kind of bug. I'll try and see if I
can reproduce here and work out what's wrong.
As a work around, you can possibly try commenting out
"module-suspend-on-idle" from default.pa.
Commenting out module-suspend-on-idle is not helping by itself. If I
still load module-x11-publish then the servers exits on thinking it is
idle anyway.
If I comment out module-suspend-on-idle and also do not load
module-x11-publish then the server does not exit on idle when plaing
line-in stream through loopback only.
I do not have a clue what consequences not loading module-x11-publish
has. I see that some properties are not registered in the root window
but I do not know whether it is good or bad and how much.
Peter.
