Intentional Feedback (signal flow, not system instability) within a view file

By feedback, we don't mean the screaming howl that comes from an acoustical loop between microphone input and speaker output, but INTENTIONAL feedback within a view file, for special purposes. Of course, some sick soul might intentionally want acoustical feedback, but most of us would agree that this is NOT a good thing! For now, lets just leave psychology to the Freudians and Jungians, and deal with signal flow within a view file, namely, wiring.

If you intentionally introduce feedback (ie., hooking an output to an input), the view file will not compile. There is a way around this however, and the quick answer is to put a Via device somewhere in the feedback path.

You should, however, take a long look at what you're doing if you've created a feedback situation however. It means that if controls are set improperly, there is the real possibility of encountering real digital feedback, which can damage sound system components and ears every bit as much as (and perhaps even better than) the more familiar acoustic feedback can.
