            Bug ID: 488820
           Summary: Add loopback/"listen to mic" option
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
Today in OSes like Windows if you wish to listen to a recording device, it is a
simple checkbox that you can enable. This results in you hearing any audio
input from the recording device, whether that is a mic, line in or other
device.

In Linux in general, you need to add a loopback device using a command such as
"pactl load-module module-loopback latency_msec=10". This is less than ideal
for the average user who may not wish to have to manually delve into config
files or run commands for this. If KDE could get a way to enable loopback
quickly, it would be a quality of life improvement.

Unsure if this is something KDE can do or if Pulse Audio needs to implement
first?
