Sndio has its own service daemon and ALSA also has its own service daemon, from official sndio installation guide that state “ First, ensure the audio device is not used by other programs.”, is this mean I should stop alsasound and remove it form default runlevel in order to get sndio to work?

That's what I assume it means. Run Sndio without stopping ALSA, just to see what happens. If it throws an error about the sound device being in use, disable ALSA and try again.

"alsasound" service saves volume% level on shutdown, and it restores it on boot. It is not a daemon.
