That's fine, I just wanted to know if this could possibly work and if
an ALSA plugin could be the right place for this kind of stuff. That
is, before diving into development and hitting any roadblocks only
much later.

I guess "in theory" means that you don't know about any plugin of such
kind I could take a look at, right?

Thank you,
