1.1 Yes, there is 

http://jezabel.sourceforge.net

Plugins for alsa, wav-files and so on.
Important note: these plugins use a extended version of
ladspa (see homepage). This is necessary to make the
jezabel plugins configurable.

2.3.a) But isn't it a advantage to have a unified handling
for *all* audio parts of your software? If you use a audio
i/o plugin, all you have to know is how to handle your
plugins.
