the only way to really disable it would be to hide it on the pci bus,
which is not done if lspcdirake -v show it.

classic bug sound tester:

"lspcidrake -v | fgrep AUDIO" will tell you which driver your card use
by default

"grep sound-slot /etc/modules.conf" will tell you what driver it
currently uses

"/sbin/lsmod" will enable you to check if its module (driver) is
loaded or not

"/sbin/chkconfig --list sound" and "/sbin/chkconfig --list alsa" will
tell you if sound and alsa services're configured to be run on
initlevel 3

"aumix -q" will tell you if the sound volume is muted or not

"/sbin/fuser -v /dev/dsp" will tell which program uses the sound card.
