Well , no, as an alsa plugin , it needs the audio device to be opened by 
another program.
(using jack+meterbridge would do what you want )

  replacing nrecord with arecord+ameter in my script break the pipe and 
hang up the sound device. First I can't close the ameter window (with 
icewm as a wm) and I must do a ctrl+C in the aterm invoking ameter 
(arecord -D ameter | lame -r -m m something.mp3). I can't launch it a 
second time, or try a "aplay something.wav", it complains that the 
snd_pcm_open failed.
