This isn't the problem. I have now got emu10k1 loaded [by putting a
line

emu10k1

in /etc/modules]

I might be going wrong because I have also put in 

soundcore

and perhaps I should put one of the alsa modules instead, like

snd?

Whats happening is that after the emu10k1 module has loaded, I get a
load of depmod messages saying the various sound modules from 

/lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/alsa

have undefined symbols.

Two questions

1)  Shouldn't the debs that I installed have used their install
scripts to put the right thing in /etc/modules, and /etc/modutils (and
run update-modules of course).

2)  Since they didn't what is the format of these entries for the alsa
modules so I can manually enter it.  Particularly, what is dependent
on what.
