Something like this exists in OSS4. The "audioloop" driver is a pipe 
between virtual client and server side devices. Whatever is written to 
the client side can be read from the server end. For example the 
application listening the sever side device can dump everything played 
by the clients to a disk file. No sound card is needed since the pipe is 
syncronized to the system timer.
