This is also available with the standard ALSA modules (at least, with ALSA
version 0.41b). /proc/asound/<card>/pcmloopD0S0p should be it, but it may
vary depending on your exact card. I haven't done an in-depth study, but
the audio quality is good enough that i don't notice much difference.

The only bad part is that you have to figure out the number of channels,
sample rate, bit format, and size to pass to play/sox.

It seems this will even work with the ALSA dummy audio device.
