You don't really need to 'configure' the card - it's PCI, so most of
that's done for you.  That said, I have an emu10k1 card, and I use a
file, /etc/modutils/aliases.emu10k1, that contains:

alias char-major-14 emu10k1
alias sound-slot-1 emu10k1
alias sound-slot-2 emu10k1
alias sound-slot-3 emu10k1
alias sound-service-1-0 emu10k1
alias sound-service-2-3 emu10k1
alias sound-service-3-3 emu10k1

These are the various extra parts of the card (rear speakers, secondary
input, whatever).  I don't remember whether there was a problem that led
me to do this, or if I did it from some howto online (this is the very
first debian/linux box I installed, so it has some, ahem, historical
quirks that it acquired going from slink to sarge).

HTH.
