Oh hey, this may answer my question from a few days ago. So I want a sink/source single device so I can dump output from one app and attach another as input...this line from the wiki...is this the right type? Basically a patch cable is what I want.
add-autoload-sink combined module-combine master=output slaves=output2 sink_name=combined I just name it 'virtual cable' and the apps if pulseaudio aware would see it in their choices for inputs and outputs I'm assuming? Sorry for being dense, I somehow didn't realize the commands 'add-autoload-sink' etc were just passed to pulseaudio on the command line.
