In theory, plugins like alsa_jack already _are_
presented as a sound card. (From alsa-lib's point
of view, there is not difference between the hw and
the alsa_jack plugins.)
If your badly written apps insist on using a hardware
card (i.e., on the hw plugin), then you need to have
an actual kernel driver for that card. There is the
loopback driver, snd-aloop, but you'd need to write
a tool that bridges that to Jack.
