Quick question.  Is this SB Live! card part of a Dell computer?  If so, it 
may be the custom version of the card that Dell ships as the SB Live! 5.1. 
This is nothing like other SB Live! cards, and is only supported in very 
recent versions of Alsa.  Mine has 5 jacks, not 4.  Other than that, it 
uses a different chip from other SB Live! cards, and only seems to be 
single-channel.  In other words, it's crippled.
