If SB-Live does not work sufficiently, why dont trying to use Terratecs EWX24/96? The card does not have Hardware SF-Support but you can load SFs into RAM (if you have enough...) and it works perfectly well for me. AWE64 was a great card for its price back in the days, when ISA was the default for Soundcards. That the support for these cards is fading is only natural, since the great PCI-Cards, shipped nowadays are simply much better and thus more interesting for developers also... Conclusion: try Delta 66 or some similar Pro-Gear or try it with a ICE-chipbased card like terratecs muse, whitch are verywell supported by alsa and can play SF from RAM.
