I'm attempting to get Steam Remote Play's microphone passthrough working across multiple NixOS host machines. Attempted against both PipeWire and PulseAudio, and against GNOME X11, GNOME Wayland, i3 X11, and sway.
In all cases, after connecting from a Remote Play client with microphone enabled, Steam successfully creates an appropriate dummy sink and monitor, enabling it to forward system audio to the remote client, but does not create a corresponding dummy source that could function as a virtual microphone. In other words, there is no Linux equivalent to what on Windows would be "Steam Streaming Microphone".
Is this just WAI (i.e. remote mic support not implemented for Linux hosts) or unexpected behaviour?
