Ok, this was my solution and what I tried:

I took the alsa.spm and did a "rpm --rebuild alsa.spm" and then
"rpm -Uhv /usr/src/packages/RPMS/*"

No go....

A good dinner did me good :-)

Next step - download latest alsa, clean up /etc/modules.conf ( remove all 
traces of alsa ), untar package, ./configure && make && make install && 
alsaconf

Presto ! In went the card.

I recall having this type of problem in 7.0, but it's been so long since I 
recompiled a kernel, having all this convenience of having SuSE supply them 
checked and working :)

I'm game, and hopefully anyone that might read this and have the same problem.
