After the help gotten on the original thread, "[artix-general] [s6] alsa failing on boot for laptop", it seems I was wrong about discarding S6 init. In the end, I can even store the alsa state, and the problem with my laptop is that poweroff and reboot hang, and therefore, most probably don't get to store the alsa state, so the alsa state restore fails both, on boot and manually attempted. IF I, at some point, store that state manually, then from the point on, whatever I last stored manually, is what moving forward gets restored, whether on boot or manually, and then I'm no longer experiencing the error on boot...
However I still need to test once the "reboot" and "poweroff" S6 issues get solved.
Greetings !
