I don't really like the idea of going down this route.  I would rather offer a solution that is more generic (not specific to AGI).  There are two that come to mind:

1) JACK - you could use the JACK audiohook and the ability to connect JACK ports over a network.  This exists in Asterisk today (though there is at least one bug report open for the module where it's not working).

2) I would also like to see the completion of a patch for call monitoring via an RTP stream.  Tzafrir has a patch on reviewboard for this, though I have some reservations about the current implementation.

This is usually not possible, because by nature, a remote AGI is connected across a single socket, and audio data typically needs to run across a separate socket, to avoid confusing the command syntax engine.  However, we could certainly open another socket on demand from the AGI script, once it has started, by allowing the AGI script first to listen on a network port for connections, then specifying that hostname and port across the AGI interface to Asterisk.
