Wow! talk about a dead horse, alsa 0.9.x and dealing with modules.conf
the driver for a sb live is just snd-emu10k1 in 2.6 kernels. Then you
probably need the oss compatibility modules snd-pcm-oss and
snd-mixer-oss. In debian you can just put these 3 modules, one per line,
in /etc/modules and they will be loaded at boot.

Here just to belabor the point.
