Hi Edson,

In WSJT-X, I can see the Loopback device, I just cannot see any of the 
subdevices. For example, among others, I see:

hw:CARD=Loopback,DEV=0
hw:CARD=Loopback,DEV=1
plughw:CARD=Loopback,DEV=0
plughw:CARD=Loopback,DEV=1

If my Gnuradio program writes to hw:0,0,0, then I am able to use WSJT-X to read 
from DEV 1, which is how it is supposed to work. The problem is that there are 
8 subdevices, and these are not shown in WSJT-X - only the main device is shown 
(DEV 0 or DEV 1). 

On the Gnuradio side, I am writing to hw:0,0,0, hw:0,0,1, hw:0,0,2, … hw:0,0,7

On the WSJT-X side, I would like to be able to select, for example, hw: 
CARD=Loopback, DEV=1, SUBDEV=3

I think that what happens is that the first instance of WSJT-X will pick the 
first subdevice, the second one will pick the second subdevice, etc. But this 
requires that I start the instances in a specific sequence, which is not going 
to be very reliable.

I have tentatively come to a similar conclusion, namely, that this has 
something to do with a limitation in qt5 multimedia.
