If you don't care about the hardware device at all, you can just use
PA without an ALSA device by commenting out the appropriate modules in
/etc/pulse/default.pa

We have a module-null-sink which provides a virtual playback device
and every sink has a virtual monitor source that lets you capture all
audio going to that sink.
