You're right; it has been properly loaded:

0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xdff3c000 irq 16
 1 [A1             ]: snd-usb-caiaq - Audio Kontrol 1
                      Native Instruments Audio Kontrol 1 (serial 
SN-SN-8CXD0HYT7W, usb-0000:00:1d.7-3)

I guess my question now is how to get my desktop to use it instead of the 
default card picked up by YaST. Would I use an ~/.asoundrc file? Also, will 
upgrading the kernel (security upgrade) maintain the driver?

Thanks,

Eron
