Pulseaudio can be easily told to ignore a specific soundcard. Typically a quality soundcard would be used for playback directly via alsa, and the onboard one for skyping/teaming via PA.
I have never seen PA overwriting alsa configuration.

I tried installing some Ubuntu flavour and installed mpd using the familiar
Code:
# apt-get install mpdI have learned to love the debian installer. Much more gentle than the pacman
Code:
# pacman -S mpdWhat does the -S even mean?
However, the Arch pacman installation results in an mpd about two year younger.
If I find a bug in mpd, I don´t want to compile the fix or wait for it two years.

Ah fair enough. I installed my mpd 5 years ago so cannot remember what exactly I did beyond apt-get install mpd.
I still have a problem with usb soundcard being powered on/off before/after playing. Causing a thump in my speakers.
It was USB kernel autosuspend. Fix it like this:
21. Disable USB autosuspend
First check that autosuspend is active:
Code:
# cat /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend
2
Code:
# cat /etc/default/grub | grep LINUX_DEFAULT
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet apparmor=1 security=apparmor udev.log_priority=3"
Code:
# echo 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet apparmor=1 security=apparmor udev.log_priority=3 usbcore.autosuspend=-1"' >> /etc/default/grub
# update-grub
