I would agree with you, but I'd be guessing as to what the exact cause is. I've seen devices behave like this before, and it's very much device-specific. Unless you can show that Alsa is kicking off a stream and sending garbage I would definitely think it's the DAC driver.
As a general comment I might look at jackd as a way of insulation against hot plug or live sound device changes. It should be able to provide a virtual default sound output path that you can then redirect to whatever physical audio output eventually becomes ready. However, kicking off squeezelite from udev might also be pretty effective and would potentially support multiple independent audio outputs at the same time, assuming the UI could cope with this. -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.
