I don’t use gnome, but it does read like pulse audio is misbehaved. In all 4 PCs where I installed 11.2, pulse was disabled by default. Did you do anything to enable pulse? If so, could you have made a mistake there?

I note a couple of wiki provide suggestions on how to disable pulse on earlier openSUSE versions:

you could try that.

Alternatively, assuming this is not a problem you created by messing with pulse audio/configuration files, you could write a bug report on openSUSE-11.2 component sound. There is guidance here for how to do that: Submitting Bug Reports - openSUSE

I have noticed the same behvaior here. And in general, PulseAudio doesn’t feel stable at all.
