IANAAudioGeek, but I would interpret an "audio loop" as a sound meant to be
played repeatedly, so the end merges seamlessly with the beginning. I would
say what you have done is a "software loopback" or something similar (as
opposed to a "loopback connector", a piece of wire that connects audio-out
to audio-in. Neat trick, though. Did that require special software, or is
it just what your card can do?
