Well, I might have more interesting project: ncd. It should be
essentially network character device, pretty similar to
nbd. Differences would be that you have to handle ioctls(). You have
essentially three options
0) limit ioctls to "known" one and do serialization in kernel. (That
is probably what you wanted to do in loopback audio)
1) implement network protocol for accessing address space.
2) rely on ptrace().
0) is not really good, option 1) is best but 2) is simple, too, and
nearly as good.
