You could try the drivers from opensource.creative.com.  The kernel version is 
based off these but is usually lagging behind a bit.  Also have a look at 
emu-tools.  Also, do you have arts running?  It has a bad habit of choking 
off /dev/dsp.  The kernel sblive drivers are capable of full duplex with 
several simultaneous samples so something fishy is going on there.
