That disables the onboard sound only. You will only need to
disable that whilst getting the sound system properly set up
and possibly when trying to use sound via Wine to get it
directed at the XFi card. But on that point I do not know
for sure, and it maybe that once things are properly configured
you do not need to keep the onboard sound disabled and will
be able to use either card for sounds.

Of course it is -- as I said the SB Live card uses the emu10k1 modules.

But when you reinstalled Debian did you do a clean reinstallation
and ensure that all the configuration in /etc was obliterated?
It would seem not.

/etc/modules is a file of last resort to force modules to be loaded
which are not loaded by auto-detection or some other automated
sub-system eg modprobe.conf files.

It is only loading because either you have for some reason put
it in /etc/modules or you have a messed up version of
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

No do not change those lines. That only installs the snd-emu10k1-synth
if the snd-emu10k1 module already loaded.

That will not hurt as such, but what do you have
for options with index=0 which is the all important entry?
On this machine currently I have an SB Awe card, so my options
look like this in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
options snd-sbawe index=0
#
options snd-pcsp index=1
#
options snd-bt87x index=2
#
options snd-usb-audio index=3 pid=0x0329 vid=0x0471
So as you can see, if the hardware for the SBAWE card is found,
it is loaded as card #0. If the hardware for the internal
loudspeaker is found, then it is loaded as card #1. If the hardware
for the WinTV card is found, it is loaded as card #2. If I plug
in the USB device whose product and vendor ids match with the above,
then that is loaded as card #3.
I can then adjust the settings on each card with
alsamixer -D hw:0 for the first card, #0
or
alsamixer -D hw:2 for the third card (usb device), #2
etc. Obviously if the card supports playback then using the
card device number with eg aplay will send the audio to the
appropriate card.
I still have entries in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet --use-blacklist snd-emu10k1-synth ; : ; }
#
install saa7134 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install saa7134 && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet --use-blacklist saa7134-alsa ; : ; }
but because neither snd-emu10k1 nor saa7134 are ever loaded
(no corresponding hardware) these are never executed and so
snd-emu10k1-synth is never loaded.
I think the simplest way to deal with this is for you to post your
complete alsa.conf file.
