I don't know if you've been able to solve this by now but this could
indicate you have OSS modules loaded as well as the ALSA modules.
If you use hotplug it will automatically load the emu10k1 driver and you
will need to blacklist it in /etc/discover.conf
A good reference I was pointed at is:

Also take a look at my thread "how to enable rear out jack on SB Live
