Subject: [9fans] audio redirection in linux

This is only on-topic insofar as I was reminded of
it by watching Nemo's Plan B video.  And it would
be nice to have in Plan 9 from User Space.

I want to do the equivalent of "bind something /dev/audio".
There just has to be a way to do this on Linux (I'm
also vaguely interested in other Unixes).  I found a
program called vsound that purports to do this but
does so via an LD_PRELOAD library that replaces
open and ioctl and picks off access to /dev/dsp. =20
This isn't what I had in mind.

Anyone know of real loopback audio devices for
Linux or any other Unix-like system?
