Indeed, I can detect and scan as root, but xsane terminates when I try to start it as normal user. > One workaround is to use saned, the SANE network daemon.

Well, that documentation says to only start the saned when the default configuration works fine, if you take a look at my other thread ([sane-devel] edited /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, what next?) you'll see sane doesn't work as it's supposed as root either... But I'll try this as soon as it does.
