Using the -C option only releases/closes the audio device. It does not shutdown the squeezelite instance. There was an 'issue #153' (https://github.com/ralph-irving/squeezelite/issues/153) around starting squeezelite with -C and the audio device was already in use and fixed in 1.9.9r1392. I use this option daily and it's been working fine for me.
