Please keep the conversation on the mailing list. (though it looks
like I forgot to do that too)

Died, as in crashed? Verbose log output would be interesting here.
Most likely the CPU load limiter kicked in and pulse shut itself down.

That should not be. Can you get this behaviour also without
module-loopback? (e.g. by recording from the bluetooth source with
parec) For further information on how to debug this, see
