- well, to me it sounds like your "overall" application should be a multi-threaded one - one of the threads reads audio stream, waiting for data as necessary (you call it "freeze") while other threads check the status of the audio reading thread.
...
Your whole IPC, including over the network part, can be implemented (or, say, prototyped) using a scripting language and utilities like 'cat', 'netcat' - the latter for the networking part.

I had some luck with the named pipe setup. I was able to set up
.asoundrc to write to a named pipe in /tmp and then send this data
over a socket and play it on another machine.
However, all (audio) applications freeze until my program (which reads
from the pipe) begins to run. This is expected behaviour of named
pipes.
I believe I can solve this by modifying the PCM 'default' dynamically.
That way, I can modify the PCM at the start of my program to use my
custom .asoundrc.
Is it possible to:
1) Modify PCM 'default' on the fly?
2) Re-initialize ALSA with a new .asoundrc without
rebooting/restarting the desktop manager?
@Anders:
I tried that approach already with no luck. For some reason when I
include snd-aloop to my modules, aplay -L does not show any of the
loopback devices.
