You need to disconnect alsaplayer's output from the ALSA soundcard
ports, then connect alsaplayer to Pd instead.

Something like: 
$ jack_disconnect alsaplayer:out_0 alsa_playback:0
$ jack_disconnect alsaplayer:out_1 alsa_playback:1
$ jack_connect alsaplayer:out_0 pure_data:input0
$ jack_connect alsaplayer:out_1 pure_data:input1

The names are from memory and almost for sure are wrong. Get the real
port names with "jack_lsp".

The qjackctl connection manager will make this a lot more intuitive,
the jack_* method however can be used well in sh-scripts.

Ciao
