No. The "monitoring" stuff is intended, as I noted, to make efficient,
easy, hw-independent access to h/w-level monitoring available. Right
now, the ALSA client/driver will emulate h/w-level monitoring in
software for its own ports, but I am inclined to remove that
code. Whether that happens or not, the "engine" has no special access
to any ports - monitoring is implemented by the clients, not the
engine.
