Yes, squeezeplay still starts jive_alsa with enableAudio=0, but doesn't
start the local player.

That's always been the case AFAIK.

That's an interesting observation.  Does using plughw increase the cpu
sys load instead?

I would NOT recommend using plughw: with squeezelite as it masks the
true capabilities of the audio hardware and moves any audio conversion
to the alsa layer instead of squeezelite.

jive_alsa will automatically close and reopen the audio device with
plughw: to allow resampled playback of audio streams not directly
supported by the audio hardware.
