Comment:

 It was hard to find a right way to do it, but being found once this way is
 very easy. First you have to add following lines to your
 `~/.pulse/default.pa` (or just run `pacmd` and type it in):
 {{{
 load-module module-combine sink_name=record_it
 sink_properties="device.description='To be mixed with microphone'"
 load-module module-loopback sink=record_it
 }}}
 I'm assuming you have only one real recording device (or rather only one
 entry in `pavucontrol` on tab called `Input Devices`).

 Now you have a special output device called "To be mixed with microphone".
 Using `pavucontrol` via tab `Playback` you have to switch your program (in
 my case it was a game) from using your real sound card to using thing
 called "To be mixed with microphone". You can pick several programs at
 once.

 Now you're ready to recording. Run `recordmydesktop` this way:
 {{{
 PULSE_SOURCE=record_it.monitor recordmydesktop --device default
 }}}
 or you can use a GUI version: `PULSE_SOURCE=record_it.monitor gtk-
 recordMyDesktop` should work too.
