Well, actually my system is a combined FE/BE, so this particular problem
should not bother me. And since my dvb driver doesn't support S3, I shut
down the BE anyway to be able to unload the driver module. Thanks anyway
for the hint.

But I did notice that the 0.25 FE had quite some issues to recover from
a connection timeout that inevitably happened during shutdown when -
even for brief moment - the BE went down.

Yes, also with my scenario (FE living, BE going down) I noticed that the
FE better recovers, and that's why I started this thread: the magic
audio initialization is the last deal-breaker for my setup so I'm really
hoping that someone *cough* perhaps JYA *cough* could enlighten me what
it is that re-enables my comatose ALSA.
