I don't know if it can be done the way you want (perhaps you'd have to run a
background process to copy the audio across).

However another suggestion is that many sound cards have additional audio
inputs (e.g. for CD, Line2, Line3) so you could perhaps wire an internal
cable across, which wouldn't be so messy.
