        Most likely, it was the "insmod -f sblive" command that you
used. It does, indeed, make sense that the sound driver might not be
supported in SMP. OSS has separate releases of their sound drivers
for SMP Linux. It has something to do with the fact that one processor
is better able to handle I/O than the other one is. For more info on
this, check the SMP Linux web sites. They're mentioned somewhere in
the Linux Documentation Project site, which is at:

http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/

        According to OSS's web site, they will not be supporting
the SBLive board any time soon, because Creative has not provided 
enough information about the board for the drivers to be written.
There may be a free driver available somewhere that I don't know
about, but it looks like you're dependent on Creative for the 
time being.
