Exactly. The Jack "server" cannot share the sound device with another
program. Naturally, when jack is running programs using Jack can use the
sound device through jack. Other programs are out of luck.

If you wish. If you don't set this flag, you might find yourself unable to
start jack at points when KDE has decided to use alert sounds and has "taken
over" the sound device.
