Piping raw PCM stream into libsndfile

I'm working on a application, and I'd like to pipe a raw PCM stream from one application into mine. I'm thinking the stream needs to be opened with libsndfile using the sf_open_virtual function, but I can't quite figure out the exact process. Any help with this would be appreciated! Thanks!
