Installing the binary version at /tmp did work. With that the problem
does not occur. With the portaudio devce set to the USB Audio DAC (I
checked the denemorc), Denemo always starts up successfully, even if the
selected device is busy. In the latter case, in the configuration dialog
the entry for Output device is empty, and the USB Audio DAC is not in
the list, but Denemo works.

Right, deleting the first line of these three suffices to let Denemo
start up.

After exiting Denemo, that line has changed to the first device:
  <portaudio_device>ALSA: HDA Intel: ALC1200 Analog
(hw:0,0)</portaudio_device>
