Hi. What do you mean by "expose its input"?

To fake alsa devices you can use alsa loop devices
(modprobe snd-aloop); and if for instance you want to export your app
_output_ write to the loop device with alsasink:

  gst-launch-1.0 audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! alsasink device="hw:Loopback,0,0"

and then the audio will be available to ALSA apps on hw:Loopback,1,0

Ciao,
