Hi,
I am tring to get kodi works with alsa on ubuntu 16.04.
So far, I have audio passthrough support but not the default mode.
I can have "non bitstream" audio with any player other than kodi.

There is no problem at all, only the kodi volume are mute when I play 'non bitstream' video.

I am sure that I have tried to unmute and level up the sound with kore app yesterday and that does nothing. I have to use my keyboard, maybe I could use the onscreen menu but I couldn't know back then.

just edit guisettings.xml while kodi is stopped and chance fvolume to 1.0 you find it in ~/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml - then start kodi and volume is maxed again.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

mute = false and fvolume = 1.0000 in guisettings but I don't know if it's like this since yesterday.

As said there's no problem but if you want to investigate on it.
30 minutes ago, to get eventserver working on kore I have to setup yatse , which when connected, kodi displayed notification and play sound normally.
I has been playing a video with mp3 audio which audio has been mute when yatse has been connected. I can unmute it with kore. I noticed that there is an red speaker icon with cross before and for this event it's only a «grey» speaker icon.

A full Debug Log will tell. Without it, no chance to investiage.
