You are using the wrong driver. The Dell SBLive! is not a real SBLive!.
You want to use "snd-emu10k1x" not "snd-emu10k1".

New: 
Thanks Lee R., and others.

System is as before; Debian etch system using udev, 
fresh ALSA download v1.0.11rc1.

I reached the point of inserting the modules into the kernel 
via modprobe, 
whilst attempting to install the correct Dell OEM 
snd-emu10k1x driver as Alsa homepage [http://tinyurl.com/58b27]

When I attempt to run the command, however, it returns errors. 
Please advise. Should I ignore them and continue through
the rest of the installation guide? Or, do something else? 
The full text of the errors is appended to bottom this of e-mail.

Thanks.
