Not possible with src interface "lo" but possible with source
address configured in "lo". Oh yes, "source interface" for some tools
means "get one address from this iface and use it". In most of the
cases these tools don't do the Right Thing.
You can simply grab the iputils tarball from Alexey's iproute2
site (may be already installed in your distrib) and to try:
ping -I src dst
or
arping -I if -s src dst
