I know you're looking for a ready-made solution, probably with a GUI, but
I thought I'd mention you could achieve this fairly easily with
ecasound. Ecasound offers an object it refers to as "loop" which is
basically a sink you can write one or more streams to and read from,
offering an almost limitless level of complexity in your routing graph.
It can be controled via CLI, read-line interactive mode, or your
favourite language (perl, python, ruby, C, bash, etc.).

Cheers,
