Manjaro&ALSA: missing option "Direct hardware device without any conversions"

OK I figured it out…
Seems like Manjaro’s relevant default options in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf are the following:

defaults.namehint.showall off
defaults.namehint.extended off

To override this behavior, I just created the ~/.asoundrc file with the following lines:

defaults.namehint.showall on
defaults.namehint.extended on

Now I have the same output from aplay -L on Manjaro as on Raspberry Pi OS.
Hope this is useful for someone.
Cheers!
