I did some more tests, result:

Kodi 17.6: while playing audio, screensaver is not being activated and showing the 'Now playing ...' osd
Kodi 18.0: while playing audio, screensaver is activated and does not display the 'Now playing...' osd

The good news is, after some testing, I found a workaround :
Enabling a Visualization addon (does not matter which one) prevents the screensaver to kick in and 'Now playing ...' osd is shown again

But of course, no good news without bad news :
Currently no Visualization addon are available in the package. So, you have to wait until new build run has been finished and after updating xbian-package-xbmc 3 addons are available

Anyway, seems to be an issue in Kodi v18, v17 might have an dummy Visualization included

Thanks for spending your time on this. I'm not a fan of visualisations. With a dummy one, you mean one without moving elements?

Knowing this, would it help to raise it as an issue on Kodi github?
