AFAIK you have got your soundcard set up wrong. I have a SBLive and did
not need any modules apart from the snd_emu10k1 one. I do get a few
xruns when moving windows and switching between apps but that is with -p
512. I am also using the realtime LSM module rather than the hand edit
option but I don't think that is your problem.

What are the alsa bits in your /lib/modules/modprobe.conf (or
/etc/modprobe.conf)?
