Did you test this patch? The tunnel devices don't run the rtpoll that
you create, so I would expect that the loopback won't work.

This is a known bug that I started working on in the past:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73429

I made some patches, issues got pointed out in review, and then I never
finished v2 of the patches. I haven't given up on that, but it's been a
year since I last worked on it... In case you're interested in the
current state of the v2 patches, I pushed the code to
git://people.freedesktop.org/~tanuk/pulseaudio branch "rtpoll-mainloop-
v2".
