You were right. You clarified my mind and what was obsured became
obvious. Just comented the line with emu10k1 in /etc/modules:

[/tmp] on Sun Apr 25, 17:49:13, 1
[scorphus]@[Kilauea] $ cat /etc/modules | grep -i emu
#emu10k1

and the sound is working smoothly.

Thanks a lot for your time and your help.
