Yes, I realize it might not have been clear, as I got a bit confused by my own
thought process as well.
I will also answer in pieces related to your questions

The crash might be due to it not getting exclusive access to alsa or the sound
card not properly selected. Yes that configuration is for alsa -> jack -> obs/
simplescreenrecorder

Here I actually meant "using the first config file will force alsa native
programs to connect to jack. Incidentally, the second solution will (usually)
also work for alsa as it would do "alsa -> pulseaudio -> jack -> obs/
simplescreenrecorder", which is my default as I'm more accustomed to
pulseaudio and jack (some programs like Discord really want pulseaudio)

this was still related to the first asoundrc file.

Well, I will make sure it eventually works one way or another :) as I know how
frustrating sound can be sometimes. As I said, I create music, as such I want
Jack, but I also want to watch youtube without having to tear down my music
setup. And I stream from time to time, so I use Jack/Alsa/Pulseaudio all at
the same time and have picked up some things along the way.
