With a recent version of pavucontrol you can just use the menu on the
loopback steram and move it to another device, during runtime. It's
really not that hard.

PA is not a system service (unless configured in a non-recommended

PA when run as user service (which is recommend) canbe restarted by
issuing 'pulseaudio -k' and then restarting it via
'start-pulseaudio-x11'.
