Ok, find the relevant piece of my /etc/modules.conf below, I'm not sure if
it's all needed, but it works for me:

#Sound config begins.
alias char-major-116 snd
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
options snd-emu10k1 snd_index=0 snd_id="sblive!"
 # OSS/Free setup
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
#Sound config ends.

Ok, well my sblive has 2 outputs, they are front and rear.  This may be
your problem, you need to give the rear output some volume or you won't
hear anything.  Personally, I find alsamixer a bit easier to tweak with
than amixer, but that's down to personal choice.

Hope this helps.
