how are you getting desktop audio (music or whatever) to get sent to your meetings? I didn't see how to expose the audio output from obs as a "microphone" or whatever to video conferencing software. I ended up hacking my setup together with voicemeeter but it's pretty sloppy and error prone.

Pipewire [0] (the successor to PulseAudio) attempts to streamline this process for Linux. I've been messing with wf-recorder [1] for my screen+audio recordings, and might try to get it to spoof a camera input so I can get any program attempting to connect to the webcam to instead turn into a screen-casting tool.

At least in my case, I haven't had to configure anything. Perhaps it's included in OBS VirtualCam? (see my original post)

JACK audio or ALSA monitor device

Tip: zoom doesn't list pulseaudio monitors in the available sources, and trying to set zoom's input to anything manually from pavucontrol fails silently (even if zoom is set to "use system default" or whatever it's called).

The only way I found to stream audio to zoom is to use a pulseaudio module that lets you use a named pipe as a source. You can then output your sound to said named pipe, and set it as the microphone in zoom. The sound is pretty bad of course.

Have you tried PulseAudio's module-virtual-source? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22754216

Are there any "virtual usb" devices, something like a software usb gadgets to emulate a webcam so that software will have to special knowledge of these alternative sources?
