No. When I said the machine will be useless I meant it will lock up eventually, because the sound on G5 iMac is fundamentally broken, it's not specifically a Suse problem. The machine is only usable if there is a way to disable sound and with these beta discs can't disable sound before the machine locks!

What do you mean with useless, just no sound? There will be a 2.6.16-rc4 which has a few audio fixes:
