You don't need Alsa, but it does better than the kernel driver concerning
some aspects. Though, in most cases the emu10k1 kernel driver will be
sufficient. What Alsa packages you need depends on your kernel version.
These many packages are for different kernels. Have a look which you need.
For better customization,etc you can compile the Alsa stuff from source,
too.
Btw; are you sure you have set the volume of the in gain, etc correctly?
