hi,

i have the sblive running here fine, but not with alsa ....
to get it working, do the following :
in ther kernel configuration, activate sound support as module
get the latest driver from creative, compile and install it, and 
then just do a "depmod -a", thats how it worked for me the last time.

i personally dont like also because they are changing the api too often
and too enermous, so that older apps wont work with newer versions ...
and, last but not least, i have a better response time with the kernel modules,
alsa gives me too much lag between input and output ....

greets,

chris
