Read emu10k1-jack.txt. Otherwise, it is much better sound cards like m-audio or RME hammerfall (look at the sound card matrix on the alsa website to see which ones are supported by alsa). I also think that it would be better to use jack with them if you want to do serious audio work. The m-audio and hammerfall can be synchronized if you need precise timing, when it is not possible to synchronize any consumer grade sound card without to modify the hardware clock of those cards.
