Please check with the code, at least I would expect this behaviour.
Otherwise, think of the following scenarios:
You want to play some file
- over http and your modem has to dial up first
- from CD-ROM which has to spin up first

Of course, you would not want the call to block on that.

So, the real drawback is (once again...) that alsaplayer does not sport
a notification mechanism which requires your application to poll.

Patches welcome ;-)

Frank
