Also would I not be right in saying that you should file a bug

I need to make an application that renders into memory all audio

This is correct.
Could you explain to me how I can do this and guide me to the
resources needed? I found one application that does this (not
open source though) and the name is wireTap. I do not want to do
it like soundflower. Should I use clients for this?
There is no API for doing this, just various hacks/work-arounds
that folks have come up with. The most straight forward way would
be to write a fake driver to do what you want. Soundflower and JACK
would be good examples of this approach. Soundflower uses a kernel
driver while JACK uses a user-land driver.
Folks are clever and have come up with other ways to do it as well.
But I'll let them speak for themselves if they are inclined to
share their techniques. At any rate, you might want to start your
education on this by reading the list archives as this topic comes
up on a regular basis.
