I think you are asking a premature question - first make sure (reading the
specs) that your HW supports the feature.

Also, you can try to run 'amixer' and carefully read its output - if you
find a device + subdevice which is capable of both capture and playback, then
you might be able to switch the device mode of operation from capture to
playback.
