Cadence leaves .asoundrc after stop

Hi experts,

after using Cadence with Alsaloop bridge, an .asoundrc remains in my ~ which I have to be delete before I can use alsa without jack.
Ist there any clean up mechanism in cadence which can be used (like the one in qjackctl. e.g.)?

TIA for tipps

This is not an issue if you keep JACK running.
Yeah I know.
Is this not possible to you for some reason?
The stuff is running on a laptop which I do not exclusively use for audio stuff and I don't love unnecessary running services, also jack sessions happen not to survive suspend states. So I prefer not to keep jack running. Besides that I am either using the build in intel sound card or an external USB one. Sometimes I have to switch between them both, so have to start, stop, restart jack so a default '.asoundrc-less' state of a not running cadence would be helpful.

But I can use qjackctl instead, which is even easier for often chaning hardware as one can define profiles there, just have to add a small aloop script.
