You can specify /dev/dsp (or /dev/dsp0) for the dxr3.

So, you should have 2 dsp devices in /dev
You'll just have to chose the correct one.

Perhaps your dxr3 sources have been compiled with only analog audio enabled. 
I'm not sure if current dxr3 sources still require this change in the 
makefile, but this could be your problem.
You can change this in the Makefile found in em8300/modules

Change line : -DEM8300_AUDIOMODE_DEFAULT=EM8300_AUDIOMODE_ANALOG
to :  -DEM8300_AUDIOMODE_DEFAULT=EM8300_AUDIOMODE_DIGITALPCM

em8300setup can be used to switch to AC3 output with the -3 option.

btw: I used a SBlive also and now only use the dxr3 audio output. Works very 
well when you have no need for other outputs.
