Foobar audio input

It would be nice if Foobar created a Windows audio-play device, kinda like Virtual Audio Cable does.
One could watch video in say Media Player Classic and route the audio through Foobar using Dolby Headphone.

Here what I do to play video in VLC and lessen audio with Foobar2000.

Step 1: Install Foobar2000 Component "Recorder".
Step 2: Install a "Virtual Audio Driver".
Step 3: In Win, set default audio input / output to Virtual Audio Driver.
Step 4: Start VLC and in Foobar2000 / File / Add Location, type "record://".

Foobar2000 Component "Recorder", Information:
- As of Nov 2016, the version is v0.1 2010-01-23.
- It record audio from the default sound card input.
- Only usable with "record://" in playlist entry syntax.
- Default audio format is 16 bit 44,100 Hz.
- The audio format is listed under File / Preferences / Advanced.
- After component installation, in Foobar2000,
  a right click on the component provide require information.

VLC
- Set VLC volume control to 100%, never over.
- Set VLC / Tools/ Audio track synchronization, -0.500 s.

Virtual Audio Driver, Information:
- The installation package could automatically install
  one Virtual Audio Driver for input and one for output,
  connect the Virtual Audio Driver output to the input,
  and set the default audio format to 16 bit 44,100 Hz.
- A setup software come with the Virtual Audio Driver.
- You may need to do this manually.
- Virtual Audio Driver = Virtual Audio Cable
- "VAC" (Wikipedia, Virtual Audio Cables) worked fine for me.
