doesn't work that way at all.

the app opens "plughw:ladspa" (for example) for playback. presto: the
ladspa plugin is applied to the playback stream.
the app opens "hw:0" (for example) for capture. no plugin processing
on the capture stream.

remember that there is no such thing as a duplex ALSA stream (similar
to several other audio device APIs).
