I'm fairly new to FreeBSD, but i know that you need to (as root) use
the kldload command to load both the  snd_emu10k1 and the snd_pcm
modules. ( I have omitted the .ko extension because you don't need to
specify it.) This should load the necessary sound modules for your
sb-live. I use the same card in another box, but not with FreeBSD, so If
I missed something, I hope someone else jumps in to correct me. You will
also need to make sure your permissions allow you to use the sound
device as user.
