This time it's not an impossible-to-reproduce bug,

Let me know it there's a better place to post this. I think similar things
have been suggested before, but this idea for a 'loopback' client hasn't as
far as I'm aware.
ALSA's 'jack' plugin can route audio from an ALSA-aware app to
jack. You can specify to which jack ports it should connect.
You need the alsa-plugins package and an .asoundrc file in your
home directory. This works by making the jack plugin the default
ALSA device. In the example below it will connect to zita-mu1 for
output. I'm using this with Opera, works perfectly.
Example .asoundrc:
---
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave { pcm "jack" }
}
pcm.jack {
type jack
playback_ports {
0 zita-mu1:in_2.L
1 zita-mu1:in_2.R
}
capture_ports {
0 system:capture_1
1 system:capture_2
}
}
