Excuse me, but then I don't understand your problem. If emu10k1 is
loaded sound should work.

What for? You don't _need_ alsa at all.

Then get rid of the alsa-stuff.
Don't get me wrong, I like alsa very much and used it on my desktop
for a long time but since there is a kernel module for my SB Live! I
don't need it anymore.

I don't think so (but I never used the alsa debs). The debs don't know
the proper entries for your specific soundcard but alsaconf does for
example.
Or did you use this one?

I don't think I understand what you mean.

Again, I recommend to purge all the alsa debs, remove any entries in
/etc/modutils, load the kernel module and enjoy your mp3s.
