Sorry. That was a mistake on my part. It should have been a hyphen as
you correctly spotted.

Yes. Your lspci shows you have a "Creative Labs SB Live!" with the
EMU10K1 chipset so emu10k1 is the correct module. I have this card at
home in my main workstation.

This doesn't look right. ALSA isn't setting the SB Live! (emu10k1) as
the primary card.

There isn't a module called "alsa". It's called "snd". From the Debian
2.6.18-4-686 kernel config:

CONFIG_SND=m

Depends if you have speakers plugged in to your TV card and if it can
play back sound? :-) "aplay -l" should list any playback sound devices.
It definitely looks like ALSA has chosen your TV card as the primary
card and not your SB Live!. Your lsmod looks fine to me too so I don't
think you need to change kernel etc. again.
I would think it's a case of tweaking something in /etc/modprobe.d/ or
writing a ~/.asoundrc file.
As root, have you tried running "alsaconf"? Afterwards be sure to run
"alsactl store" as root too and finally check levels, card etc. with
alsamixer.
Failing that, have a look at the ALSA wiki [1] or try to make it along
to the next BaB meeting.
