I decided to remove all USE flags except hardware ones, then add back in any that turned out to be needed. Looks like you've spotted the one I need - thanks.

An encyclopaedia-full of info, among which I see "No sound servers found".

Dmsg shows the hardware being set up OK; syslog nothing.

No; that was the point, or part of it. I decided to remove all USE flags except hardware ones, then add back in any that turned out to be needed. Looks like you've spotted the one I need - thanks. I don't know why I didn't think of that - so easy with hindsight.
