I'm thinking a virtual PCM if you agree.

We could keep the same userspace API for configuration OR we could
extend the API slightly to add some snd_pcm_virtual_() functions.
Extending the API would imply the virtual PCM only supports a subset of
PCM API calls (avoiding any confusion/mixing with regular PCM APIs).

Thanks
