Using squeezelite v>=1.8 with option -C, no sound under intel x64 #3

Under Ubuntu 16.04 in intel x64 (ALSA), if use the option -C to launch squeezelite app, for example -C 2, doesn't output any kind of sound in Kodi although it shows artist and song in kodi interface and the client (Spotify) progress bar shows as it's been reproduced. In that moment if you pause music in the client or change to other LMS player, it continue appearing as playing inside the Kodi GUI, not refreshing properly the state. In such situation if you try to disable the addon, kodi freezes and needs to be restarted.

I'm only able to reproduce it under intel x64. It seems to be associated to addon "trick" to reproduce the no-sound file blocking the output device in Alsa, reporting output device is busy by squeezelite player. It doesn't happen with raspberry running osmc. In both cases there aren't any ad-hoc config like asound.conf or .asounrc files. So far continue playing with alsa setup and different output plugins (hw,plughw,dmix...) without luck.
