you can read from "hw:Loopback,1,0":

  gst-launch-1.0 alsasrc device="hw:Loopback,1,0" ! audioconvert ! autoaudiosink

and let the ALSA apps write to the input device "hw:Loopback,0,0".

I did this once to bring into GStreamer synthesized MIDI notes:

BTW I think I was confused by the use of the word "expose" referred to
an input :)
