Well, something like that. The applets and utilities supplied by
pavucontrol are arcane and not in the least task-oriented, so something
more user-friendly is definitely needed.

Incidentally, yesterday I did some recording from TV. At first I tried
to re-enable PA loopback but when that just didn't work I had to resort
to my patched Audacity with software playthrough. The experience really
made me miss loopback, because I could only listen to the source while
actually recording. Now I'm starting to see why software playthrough is
considered a hack.
