Using dsnoop that point to my original and physical sound card, I can achieve what I want with arecord, for example:

arecord -D plug:dsnoop -t wav a.wav &

and

arecord -D plug:dsnoop -t wav b.wav &

Together, and also my streaming software (butt) that have as inputs:

  • default PCM device
  • pulse
  • default
