I'm pretty sure it does. In order to run it needs to claim a pcm device (or multiple devices as specified in an .asoundrc). I just tested that by starting jackd and then trying to start alsaplayer on the same device and jackd blocks alsaplayer until it is shutdown then alsaplayer will start.Have you used JACK?
AFAIK it definitely requires a pcm. You may have
used it on hardware that supports multiopen which would explain what you
have observed.
Yes, I have used jack. I meant that it doesn't open the sound device when it is not being used by a host application.
