Yes, that's oddly asymmetric, and should perhaps be fixed. That said,
as long as module-loopback gets loaded again when the streaming
continues, the current logic shouldn't necessarily cause too much
trouble. In your case module-loopback doesn't get loaded again, but
that might be because pulseaudio gets stuck before that has a chance to
happen.

Getting stuck is the most interesting problem here. Can you run
pulseaudio in gdb, and when it gets stuck, stop and give command
"thread apply all bt"?
