So, your problem is that darkice wants to get its material from a soundcard
rather than as a pipe from another program I take it. It would seem easy to
write a module where it read from a pipe instead of the soundcard, or from
a file.

Ie, your real question is "how can I make darkice read from a file or from
stdin instead of from a soundcard?" 
Ie, instead of a solution (virtual soundcard) this asks the question you
really want answered.

Unfortunately I cannot answer that question either, but perhaps someone
can.

In fact you could write to the darkice people and ask if they have any
solution to that problem.
