Will be fine, the emu110k1 can use bigger soundfont, but you must first get it 
to work.

Wrong, the sound card use ram memory.

Here is your problem. The emu10k1 share the same IRQ as the usb, and it is very 
bad. The emu10k1 must be on its own IRQ. You must check in the bios if you can 
assign the IRQ and/or move the card in another slot. You can also try to use 
the APIC interface in the kernel, but it will be better to get ride of this 
problem at the PIC level.
