WOW!! - First time I think I can help someone !!

Try
alias sound-slot-0 es1371
in /etc/modultils/aliasis
then
update-modules

worked for me .....

If not look in /var/log/messages & syslog after a boot
It will tell you what the system could not find, in my case
sound-slot-0, QED

As I configure my system, I write a kind of howto for myself,
heres my page for es1371 and its gameport ...

Debian 3.0, es1371 Sound & Gameport

Ensure the following modules are enabled in the kernel

M	Sound card support, soundcore
M	Creative Ensoniq Audio PCI 97 ES1371, es1371
M	Input core support, joydev
M	Char dev/joystick/clasic PC analog, analog

Re-compile the kernel ..

cd /dev/input
rm js*
cd ..
rm js*
mknod input/js0 13 0
ln -s input/js0 js0

at the end of /etc/modules, add the lines

soundcore
joydev
analog js-fullchf
es1371 joystick=1

& re-boot... Should all work.

Set the joystick switch to '2'
Install joystick with dselect
Check joystick with 
jstest /dev/js0

Joystick		/dev/js0
trigger			0
big green button	1
2 x yellow buttons	2,3

CH flightstick pro, in modes 3,4 it simulates generic joystick

IF the sound  fails. I originally setup /etc/modules/aliases to include
alias sound-slot-0 es1371
Then run update-modules, before I played with the gameport

PS Ive got almost all of debian working now, If you think the rest of my home 
brew howtos would be usefull, e-mail me and i will send em.

Good luck
Dave
