On a modern Linux system, you have the option to run PulseAudio. On many desktop installation it's the default.

Aside from the many strange and wonderful things PulseAudio can do, it also has protocol modules which allow you external connections. Especially interesting for you might be the TCP or UDP modules, because some of those are completely agnostic to the underlying hardware/software implementation. These work on localhost and over the network.

As an additional bonus, it should be quite easy to simulate a session by running a fake server with minimal Perl for regression testing.
