I'm assuming from the context of your message that you meant "CAN'T find a use ... either". But the whole point of a general purpose API (which is what libc is and presumably is what ALSA aspires to have) is to support *ALL* possible uses, whether you can imagine them or not. The API does not *need* to set the FD_CLOEXEC flag, and so it should not. It is the height of arrogance to assume that something has no use simply because you can't imagine using it.
