Public bug reported:

I am trying a simple test using a loopback sound device.

pacat -r -d alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor \
--latency=1msec \
| pacat -p -d alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo \
 --latency=1msec

I use the above command.  This is to take the microphone input and write
it to the loopback device.

(this is just a test.  once I have this working, I plan to pipe through
sox to modify the sound)

I find that when I do this and record, I get no sound at all.

If I record directly from the microphone, then the recording does have
sound.

I am using Ubuntu 14.4.3
