(For some reason I never sent this, and while it's almost a year later, I think it might be useful just to have it on record in the ML, to make things easier for people reading this thread in the archives.)

The other thing that I don't think was mentioned in this thread is that you will need to add your user to the audio group (if that's not already the case) because systemd-logind normally gives your user access to certain devices (including audio devices) by setting ACLs on the device node in /dev/ *when you login*, e.g.: % getfacl /dev/snd/seq getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: dev/snd/seq # owner: root # group: audio user::rw- user:marcec:rw- group::rw- mask::rw- other::--- Since you're not logging in, that won't get triggered, so even with lingering enabled, anything requiring access to these devices won't work. The device access concepts are documented in [0] and also in sd-login(3), from which one could deduce the above, but it's not explicitly pointed out anywhere AFAICT (I think I had it pointed out to me on a Gentoo ML).
