The alsa modules for your SB Live aren't listed here; no wonder
it isn't working . . .

. . .while soundcore, listing the modules that depend on it, lists
emu10k1 and sound, which are OSS modules rather than ALSA modules.
If you showed the full output from lsmod, would we see "emu10k1"
there?

You can't have both OSS and ALSA modules for the card loaded at
the same time.  My suspicion is that you're using either discover
or hotplug (or both), and that it/they run in the boot process
before the ALSA scripts do.  discover/hotplug is loading the
OSS modules for your soundcard because you forgot to blacklist
them.  Then along comes ALSA, which is unable to load snd-emu10k1
etc.

Here's what an lsmod for a machine with the SBLive correctly
installed ought to look like:
