There was a bug in the loopback device - it returned

So this just works. I do indeed have to start mplayer
first, but
only the first time.
It's because zita-alsa-pcmi.cc first tries float and only uses

dmix/dsnoop devices for the playback clients but connect zita-?2?
directly to the hw:Loopback,[12].
