An emu10k1 sound card must do it just fine, I think at you have a hardware 
problem or a bad configuration. You have 256Mb ram, how big is the soundfont? 
Harddisk activity can come from swaping, so which wm are you using? I would use 
a light one as fluxbox or xfwm with so little ram. Are you sure at the program 
you are using is configured to use the synth in the emu10k1 and not a softsynth?

lock-up -> check which modules are loaded, if the soundfont is loaded and the 
IRQs.
# lsmod  | grep snd
# asfxload <your-soundfont.sf2>
# cat /proc/interrupts
