No problem, as stated it's not a showstopper for me. (And I'm even worse with
replies.)

What do you mean by "user space module", some ALSA module configured with
alsa.conf and friends? The only ALSA configuration I set is to choose the card
with S/PDIF as default. I'll remove it for testing and may temporarily remove
system provided ALSA configurations as well.
Everything else is as bare as a fresh Archlinux installs it, using slim for
login and spectrwm as WM. So, no fency hidden stuff should happen.</pre>
