Hi,

great that helped. Hmm, I found the Show-dropdown on the other tabs but
must have missed it on the Playback-tab somehow. Knowing about the
concept that loopback always have two ends of course helps - and makes
much sense.

Great, nice. I really like how easily an A2DP-connected device
integrates seamless into PA.


Kind regards,
 Stefan
