Here -> http://packman.links2linux.org/package/k3b. But no 11.0 build so far.

You are sure about the "**various** sound chips" part? If so, you must
know which ones they are (p.e. "AD1988"). That would be a good start
point.
Whatever have you done the installation must end with working sound,
so it's a bug... report it: https://bugzilla.novell.com/

/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/[ALSA-Configuration.txt] from
kernel-source package and http://www.alsa-project.org/
- There is a sound driver loaded? "lsmod | grep snd_" and/or "cat
/proc/asound/cards".
- If so, is sound muted? "alsamixer".
- There is any interesting driver option? "modinfo snd_hda_intel | grep parm".
- Go to http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/audio/
and with some luck the development version will have a working driver.
