YOu're going to try and bubble soil? In an aquarium, the oxygen dissolves into the water at the surface interface, and the bubbles really only move the water to circulate. Very little oxygen is put there by the bubbles. What are you trying to accomplish? Why do you think you need more oxygen at the roots?

idk.. I think the pump would push the air into thae soil,, at least in smaller pots with (perhaps) light mossy type soil. Perhaps put in the bottom of the pot amongst a layer of gravel. Lil too creative probably, but wtf.. think I'll just try it.
