So in theory if you want to pipe just audio you would need to make a “virtual” audio sink (in this case we will call it fake_mic)

pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=fake_output sink_properties=device.description=fake_output

Have the audio you want playing in something like VLC and pipe that output to the new audio device via pavucontrol, pasystray, or anything else that can manage PulseAudio.

The reason why I suggest VLC is because VLC lets you set your audio device from there menus directly.

Audio > Audio Devices > fake_output

Then create a input loopback of the fake_output we will call fake_mic

pactl load-module module-remap-source master=fake_output.monitor source_name=fake_mic source_properties=device.description="fake_mic"

Then in your program of choice your should be able to select fake_mic that plays whatever your output to it.

I don't really know what a #zine is, but I'm going to try makin some sort of #OpenStreetMap leaflet/zine/flyer. 😊

So large chunks of my home folder got deleted yesterday (at the end of the day my mistake) mostly stuff in the Documents (more or less just git repos that are back up other places, so no real loss there). Though the real kicker is .config is a mess. It is funny all week i was telling myself I need to get my dotfiles and configs backed up. Luckily I have a couple laptops with most of the same configuration so I can just pull those back over with some scp magic.
