OK, solved this sound problem - in the usual way<sigh> by getting rid of that curse on sound called pulseaudio.
In openSUSE pulseaudio and alsa are inseparable in that you cannot remove pulseaudio because alsa depends on pulseaudio for some unknown reason unlike other distros (wot a marriage of workable with unworkable! :'( .)
However, in YaST2's Audio settings you can (in "Other" options, bottom right corner) for the sound card deselect "pulseaudio" - and this did the trick. You will lose the volume control icon on the top bar but who cares as long as the sound works correctly in vlc.

I haven't done so because I installed 11.4 KDE on my wife's computer 3 days ago and have spent many hours since trying to figure out how to get sound to work on her system :-( . She's on that computer for most of the day so I have to slot my "fixit" endeavours into those periods when she is doing something else (and then I get hassled, "How long *are* you going to be?!") :-) .
