1) It has been said wrong. It's not that it doesn't work without the libtool
file, but it's because what's being done is using the library (*.so) off of
somewhere and not one which was meant and built for your system (differing
versions). Libtool helped here by making sure libraries are properly linked.

Open up a *.la and you'll see what I mean.

2) No. Every alsa app registers a port with JACK when the plug-in is active.
Those that don't are defective.
