If I understand the question correctly, you're looking for the plugin
that writes all of its input to a file. There are two in vaguely
recent ALSA versions: tee and something else. Tee writes the output to
a file but also sends it to the output device. 'file' or whatever the
other one is just writes it to a file. I can't find my notes for using
them, but if you search this mailing list for a post I made a few
weeks ago, I gave an example usage of it. Or just do a google search
for alsa tee.

If you are instead looking to redirect the sound output to your
application, then I don't know the deep ALSA magic required to make a
capture device that feeds data off of a playback device, but you could
probably use tee/file going to a named pipe to achieve the same
result.

Disclaimer: I am not an ALSA expert. In fact, I barely understand it
at all. When I try, my head hurts, and I go do something else for a
while.
