You can control it via fcntl(). See fcntl(2) man page.
I looked at that but I didn't find any place in alsalib (or libalsa whatever the order of those two words), where I can obtain the file handle. They are all of type pcm_something_t. I found a file handle quite deep in this library but there seems no way to actually obtain that handle.
OK, I see the problem now, too. In practice, you can get a file descriptor from poll descriptor, but this doesn't cover all underlying fds. A new API function or an additional SND_PCM_* flag for snd_pcm_open() would be needed, indeed.
In the latter case, it must be easy -- just pass O_CLOEXEC flag to open() call...
