As someone pointed out, this is wrong, it should be "$@", sorry, I didn;t
test it before posting.
2) It doesn't fall back to alsa if jack is not
running. I tried changing
the script to -o alsa, but that didn't work. Trying it from the command

Thats because your alsaplayer is broken w.r.t the ALSA drivers. Mine is
