Apologies if this is already possible, but I could not find any mention of this.

The DAC I'm using seems to go to sleep when ALSA is released and takes a few second to respond when the playback starts again. Is it possible to not release ALSA even when no music is playing?

Thanks :)

You'd be better off disabling this feature in ALSA as it affects all programs, not just librespot. You can also investigate disabling power saving features on the sound card which can cause a similar delay. There is lots of detail about this online as it's a common problem.
