module-loopback falls back to looping mic to speakers

[Chris Boyle]

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

I'm using module-loopback to hear A2DP music from my phone, as described at:

http://jprvita.wordpress.com/2009/12/15/1-2-3-4-a2dp-stream/

This works, but when my phone disconnects from A2DP for any reason (e.g. I walk away or turn bluetooth off) module-loopback remains loaded and decides instead to play audio from my microphone to my speakers, giving horrible feedback noises as you would expect.

I would like a parameter for this module, perhaps fallback=[boolean], so I can say that when the phone goes away, just get rid of this module/instance instead of moving to another source. For now I will locally patch may_move_to to return false.

I have this very bad feedback loop when ubuntu displays gdm and plays these "drums"...
