I feel a little dumb, but I ddiscovered that I was trying to load a nonexistant misspelled emu10k1 driver for my sblive. I got the driver to load and alsa sees the card now, but when I try to use mpg123 for example it cannot find /dev/dsp. Do I need to make this a link to a new device now that alsa is running the card? I am discovering that every time you answer/solve one question/problem in linux you find a new one *grin*. Thanks for the help.
