That is correct, I have no idea how else to stop the client, it's not the plugin that uses ALSA, but the squeezelite process. So killing the process will release it, the client is not designed to be used in parallel with other software I suppose.
Saiyato, just a little suggestion here;
launching squeezelite with -C x parameters will release the output device after x secs of silence (please replace x with a valid integer, 1 is perfect).
That way You could use it with any other player with no wonder of stopping squeezelite process. Obviously, you could then get an error trying to use squeezelite when the sound card is in use by others, so you should do the same in other players too.
This is a great find! I will see how I can implement this.
Hey there.... Was giving this plugin a try and it works really well! Once I've played some audio via my squeezebox server, how do we "release" it so that someone can play audio again through Volumio? The only way I can do it at the moment is to stop the plugin.
