Me too. I cannot get ALSA working on my SB Live.
If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion: Maybe the developer in charge of ALSA's e-mu driver could work with us poor unfortunates. There may be some commonality between our systems that causes this (besides the sound blaster live).
My system: Sound: SBLive Value Redhat 7.3 (w/ piecemeal recompiles & upgrades) Kernel: 2.6.1 CPU: Athlon XP 2100+ Mobo: ASUS (I think it's A7V333. I can confirm this later.)
