I would encourage you to enable the systemd units if possible in
openSUSE, and disable autospawn. They have the following benefits:

1. Process environment is less random.
2. Lifetime is more controlled.
3. No more problems with running an audio-using command from a
terminal while X is open.
4. Easier to disable per-user (by masking the relevant unit on a system path).
5. Proper autorestart policy configuration
