From the man page for yum: remove or erase Are used to remove the specified packages from the system as well as removing any packages which depend on the package being removed. It clearly states that it will remove any package that depends on the package you are trying to to remove. So if kde has alsa as a dependency it will get removed. This is not a bug.
