I have the same problem with the overdriven sound actually. I switched from OSS to ALSA last night, but now I have no sound. (I'm hoping I just haven't found the right channel yet.) Anyway, I've read that the one of the alsa channels supposedly will correct for the sound from a bt848 tv card. When (if) I find it I'll post the info for you.See the volume control tips at http://opensrc.org/alsa/index.php?page=emu10k1

for setting the alsa volume.
Especially this part:
"Recording from line/mic/cd(analog):
In alsamixer <http://opensrc.org/alsa/index.php?page=alsamixer>, set Capture to something reasonable (I have 53) and *hit space bar* to enable Capture. Then set the volume for the
source you want, and hit spacebar for capture on that too. I have AC97 set to zero and AC97 Capture set to 100, not sure if this does anything, but mic/line/cd recording now works for me."
If you're using line in on the SB live connected to line out on bt848 (as most people seem to do)
