Packman is providing all packages for ALSA, but not the drivers. Those
are the default from SuSE kernel, and those get loaded. So the driver
version is what "cat /proc/asound/version" shows.

But you could compile alsa-driver yourself and simply overwrite
kernel-default's alsa modules. That is known to work.
