The easiest way is if you search for the alsa rpm for suse 9.0.

Have a look at the following link:

http://rpmseek.com/rpm-pl/alsa.html?hl=de&cbd=0:A:0::44

Ups, just recognized that you wrote 1.0.6. On the given link I only 
found them up to 1.0.3. Maybe on the alsa page they have some more 
links. Anyway, there are usually individuals who are interested in 
getting some software up to date on their system and post it on a web 
site. Searching for the key words 'alsa', 'rpm', 'suse', and '9.0' 
usually brings you some results.

You can even install it from right where you found the rpm, by clicking 
on the link, Yast should come up with the software installation window.

BTW, are there some known problems with alsa? I have some problems with 
my sound system on 9.0 and never really figured out what is wrong.
