The sound won't work at all or, if it does, not properly. You may not even have any keyboard beeps (^G's) if both are loaded. Get rid of the device pcm and just load the modules. KDE comes with artsd as it's sound server; some people love it, some people hate it and some people (like me) both love and hate it :) Make sure you are loading the correct .ko file for your card, I'm not sure that snd_emu10k.ko is the correct one, but I could be wrong.
