问题
The rest of my team will make for my application a simple non-standard USB microphone, but until they finish it I will have to emulate it, for integration testing purposes.
Is there any risk in a physical loopback?Yes there isWill a physical loopback work?Only with a USB bridge- There is any way to create a logical loopback? (MSDN has something about this)
- There is any general purpose USB emulator software?
In case there is many options available I'd rather work it .NET/Matlab/Python solutions.

Edit: Proof of concept here
I strongly recommend this project, USB IP. It is a way of connecting USB devices over the network. There is a Windows client.
What this means is, you install the client on your Windows computer. This device then expects to talk to a USB device connected to a Linux computer, the server:
What you now do, is either create a fake device driver for Linux, that looks like is connected to a physical USB device, but in reality is just logic pretending to be your USB device. There are tutorials for writing USB drivers for Linux. Or you create your own stub driver for the Device Control Manager (see picture above). This stub driver could run on Windows or Linux, it wouldn't matter. It could even run on the same Windows machine which is the USB client.
The DSF USB Loopback Device mentioned in the question itself, would be the same kind of solution as a stub driver for the Device Control Manager, but taking Linux out of the picture altogether.

You can write virtual USB device using QEMU.
You can duplicate already existing device, like the dev-serial.c found in this QEMU repository and change it for your needs.
After you write and compile your USB device you can simply attach it to your VM using the QEMU command line interface.

If you want to emulate keyboard or mouse you don't need to proof of concept or virtual usb device
You can just install pyautogui
to python
For python 2:
pip install pyautogui
For python 3:
pip3 install pyautogui
And use it like this:
import pyautogui
pyautogui.typewrite("hello from pyautogui")
