If you don't need the midi support, emu10k1 (afaik comes in most of the
2.4.x kernels) works just fine. if you want midi support (that is
hardware midi, you can always play midi emulation with timidity) you'll
have to use the alsa driver. there is a nice article about alsa in
debian:

As for SBLive specific alsa options you can find them in the
alsa-project webpage (there is a link to that in the article).
