So the configuration should be something like:
Personal Music Directory --> Use one stream for all users (fewer
resources, no fixed starting point)
-> Start new stream for each
user (can use introduction text)
System Music (Directory) --> Use one stream for all users (fewer
resources, no fixed starting point)
-> Start new stream for each
user (can use introduction text)
-> Use system audio input (fewest??
resources, needs external source) - (see below)

Loop does not make much sense as well in this case, there is nothing to
loop.
That's why I would make "Use system audio input" part of the selection
options of the System Music Directory
(and skip the "Directory" part, so make it "System Music").
Maybe this option should be available for the Personal Music Directory as
well, but I think that could be overkill.
