Not practical

First of all, many players are moving away from supporting ALSA.

Secondly, hogging the ALSA device is anti-social to other apps on Linux that want to output sound. That's the reason why JACK, pulseaudio, ESD and dmix was written in the first place.

Fine if we are talking about a dedicated music only player, but not for day to day use on a general purpose machine.
