The audiofiles are available for the alternative track listed in the response.

Is this a general thing for Spotify - having to query alternative tracks?

It must also be noted that when the alternative track is queried, it does not list the original queried track as an alternative.

So what must be done in case Spotify had not grouped alternative tracks? How does one get the audiofiles then?

They will always provide alternate tracks if required. Why would you need a way to access the "original" track that you can't play?

Have you read https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/concepts/track-relinking ?

The general Spotify principles explained in their officla docs are often relevant to working with librespot.

I'll close this issue, but "always provide alternative tracks if required".

Does that mean that if the track is found to be playable, the alternative track would automatically be empty,

Or does the developer need to check if the track is unplayable and then loop over the alternative tracks listed if any.

I don't remember. But I recall they provide some field to describe the availability.

Look how this is done at github.com/librespot-org/librespot@2ea7436e60/playback/src/player.rs (L881) ?
