FWIW, I just tried using the PA Jack Source as my "microphone" input.
Not a sound, even with music playing into it. So, good luck. If you can
do live streaming on YouTube, I suppose you could live stream your audio
that way and play the YT URL in Jitsi.

I just checked the Jitsi Meet using Chromium (they recommend
Chrome/Chromium, apparently Jitsi uses some newer streaming standards
that Firefox either doesn't fully support or is just simply too slow).
For microphone, it offers my USB headset, USB audio, Builtin and
Pulseaudo JACK source. Which I remember I do have Pulseaudio set up
here feeding to JACK sink. Output include the preceding plus PA Jack
sink.
I think that means you could have either your streaming audio going
into it, or your microphone, but not both.
I am trying to combine the audio from my
microphone (either built in
microphone from my laptop or bluetooth headset) with music playing
from Rhythmbox Music Player running on Ubuntu 16.04 and pipe that as
the audio input to video conference services such as Jitsi.
I don't know much about Linux audio internals and wasn't sure how to
do this. Can I do this completely via the operating system using
Pulse Audio? Do I need to do something with Jack? Or do I need
specialized software such as OBS, Ardour or Reaper?
OBS is probably the easiest way. You can add your local video if
needed as well. OBS will work fine with just pulse or jack. I don't
know much about jitsi it self but if it uses pulse as the default
device there should be no problem.
