I have an SBLive! which came with a Dell Dimension PC. The snd-emu10k1
module has been refusing to load ("EMU10K1/Audigy soundcard not found or
device busy"), however I found the following patch makes it work:

By no coincidence I'm sure, I never got the spdif output on the card to
work. Perhaps it's a cut-down OEM version? I noticed a DELL OEM entry in
snd_emu10k1_ids[], but my card does not match that device id. Here is
the lspci output:

etc....

could a failure to add the spdif control be made non-fatal perhaps?

Thanks,
