I see a few uses cases:
1. Testing recording volume as you mention
2. Input from another system, eg a classic game console with a capture card for
video and loopback for audio.

I personally use this to handle my work/person computers. My main PC (personal)
is hooked to my DAC. My work Macbook is run to my main PC via TOSLINK input. I
then run "pactl load-module module-loopback latency_msec=10" so that I can
listen to my work Macbook through my main PC. I can then play videos/music on
my personal PC while hearing notifications from my work Macbook.
