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.
