There's always single user mode. In the boot loader (Grub?) figure out how to add the word 'single' to the end of the kernel parameters and boot that way. SuSE does their bootloader a little different than I'm used to, so I'm not sure what the procedure is. When the system loads you can use chkconfig to turn off the alsa service (chkconfig alsasound off), then reboot.
OR Rip out the sound card. What do you need that for on a server anyway? If it's onboard you can use the BIOS to "rip it out". That may not fix it, but it's a good idea anyway. Having extra hardware running on a box that makes you money is almost always a liability.
