Well, it doesn't crash. But it wasn't systematic before. And I still can't hear anything.
If the /etc/modprobe.d/sound file edits I gave above still do not work for your PCs audio, then I think you are into the territory of disabling pulse audio.

I noted the following:

You could start by following the advice here:
sontek ( John M. Anderson ) » Achieve Zen with openSUSE 11.0 (i.e Get rid of pulse audio) which is to remove alsa-plugins-pulse.

If that is insufficient, you could remove all pulse audio applications. Just make a note of what you remove, so you can install them again later, if need be.

Pulse audio is new in openSUSE-11.0, and hence new to many of us (including myself) and we are still trying to learn its implications/techniques.

After removing pulse audio, you will possibly have to restart alsa, or possibly even reboot, to get the full effect.
