JHC, you have four sound cards in there.  I suggest you try getting
*one* of them to work first.  Figure out which alsa hardware drivers
are loading (lsmod | egrep '^snd/') and blacklist (add to
/etc/hotplug/blacklist) all but snd_emu10k1.  Then try again, and let
me know what you have. :)

Cheers,
