PulseAudio: How to send a virtual sink's output to my headphones

Question

I created a virtual sink according to How can I create a virtual output in PulseAudio? using:

pacmd load-module module-null-sink sink_name=MySink
pacmd update-sink-proplist MySink device.description=MySink

Now I want to also hear anything sent to MySink on my headphones. Is that possible?

I'm doing this so I can listen to music while I am recording videos but not record that music. I do want to record an application's audio output though (speech output).

Answer 1

module-combine-sink - creates a virtual sink that duplicates data to several other sinks

module can be enabled in 'paprefs' GUI - 'Simultaneous Playback' tab

or this command:

pactl load-module module-combine-sink
