Here is what I'm using very successfully to run kde, skype and some
games over jack/hdsp instead of the built in intel-hda.  It was written
by falktx, of kxstudio fame.

It comes in three parts:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/879835/jacklib.py
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/879835/aloop-daemon.py

It actually makes audio on my system a dream to work with, and allows
me to route it around as I wish.  One could conceivably create even
more loopback devices for specific apps, but this has worked great so
far.
