A python script for automatically adding a loopback module to Pulse Audio for a bluetooth audio source when it's connected, and automatically removing the loopback module when the bluetooth device disconnects.Original code found here: https://gist.github.com/joergschiller/1673341/#comment-802735

Please,
For me work only it was changing the line 22 to:
alsaloop --rate=44100 --format=S16_LE --cdevice=pulse --buffer=10000 --tlatency=500000

Because alsaloop worked but the load-module module-loopback generate exception error the type "Failed load module"?
