That is kind of what I was thinking about when I mentioned dirty ;)
Or somehow create a "fake" ALSA hardware device that redirects to pcm.pulse?
So I hope someones pipes in who has already done similar stuff. I would probably spent quite some hours until I manage to write that, altough on first glance it should be similar to what padsp does, no?
