Over the network?

I'd bet there is no need to write any ALSA driver for this. You can
either use the ALSA plugin mechanism to achive this, or even some
higher level. PulseAudio for example allows seamless streaming over
the network out of the box.

Why are you confident that you need to write a driver?
