thanks, ... I'm still digesting that. ....
The dmesg output surprised me, as there are 4 entries !! indicating your alsa sound is being loaded on 4 occasions. I'm puzzled, why 4? I would think only one is typical.
You state you installed the latest alsa? ... 1.0.14 is not the latest, although it does come with 10.3. It does look to me that you custom installed alsa-1.0.14a library. However v.1.0.15 is the latest. There is a more current set of alsa rpms here ...
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/....3_Update/i586/
.... although given the kernel update that came out last night (8-Nov-07), I don't anticipate that those rpms will stay there long, as they are kernel version specific.
I noticed you have IEC958 OFF, .... can you try switching that ON? If that doesn't work, put it back off.
And finally, take a look here re: a post by an openSUSE-10.2 user who got their speakers working:

Sound Card
Before the kernel upgrade i have no sound, after neither, but with the new kernel and some twist is now working. I modified the load of the module in /etc/modprobe.d/sound, my file looks like this:
options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 position_fix=0 model=3stack
# u1Nb.NlnQcJzoe90:HD Audio Controller
+ alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel+
Once i did that and restarted alsa: rcalsasound restart, i had sound ONLY trough the phones. I restarted it againg and now the speakers was working. After a reboot only the phones was working, i restarted alsasound and againg the speakers works. I dont why this happend and dont care much i just added: rcalsasound restart to /etc/init.d/boot.local [/b]

I also found a post by a Ubuntu user who adopted a more complex approach:

... I recommend you try the openSUSE-10.2 approach first.
And before you change anything, ensure you keep sufficient backups/records that you can restore everything if it doesn't work.
