I regularly use at least one loopback module in my pulseaudio setup, looping incoming USB audio stream back to the computer speakers and/or bluetooth headphones. This means that I almost always run 'pactl load-module module-loopback' as one of the first things I do when booting up. According to the pulseaudio documentation, I can put the command 'load-module module-loopback' into a default.pa file in my configuration folder for pulseaudio (~/.config/pulse) and it will be run automatically on log-in. Unfortunately, when I do so, the pulseaudio server crashes (or fails to start). I have also tried putting this command in the system configuration folder, which causes much the same problem. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong, or what I need to do differently. Putting the appropriate command in my log-in script is an option, but was hoping for a way to do it automatically through pulseaudio.
