i know nothing about esound, but im curious about which sblive module you are using in 2.4.x. there is emu10k1 included with the source, and then there is a build of emu10k1 with OSS support available from creative.com (dont remember where -- if you cant find it, i have the tar.gz). i had to use this for /dev/mixer functionality, and i have no idea how the change would affect your situtation. if you have no other leads and dont use this build of the driver already, it might be worth a shot
