python-sounddevice sounddevice.play() with input devices

Whenever I tried and use sounddevice.play() with an input device I get an Error opening OutputStream: Invalid number of channels error (which I think is caused by there being no output channels on the input device, as I tried with an output device and it worked fine). Is there any way to make sounddevice.play() work with input devices too?

How would you expect that to work?

Do you expect sound coming out of your microphone?

Well yes, that is what I was hoping could be done.

What kind of microphone are you talking about?

It's a virtual audio cable

And how would that be supposed to work?

Can you please describe in detail what you are trying to achieve?
