Check in your BIOS there should be an option to disable it.

Unless the sblive modules are loaded (check the output of lsmod) the card 
will not be usable under linux.

Haven't used the kernel drivers in over 2 years now!! :-) So am not sure 
how they work .. and plus the official VIA drivers (my onboard card) are 
incapable of allowing 2 sound cards. (Am not sure if it's a limitation of 
the via driver or the kernel drivers)

if you manage to load both the sound card drivers ... you can make apps
use the second card by default.. 

rm /dev/audio ; ln -s /dev/audio1 /dev/audio
rm /dev/dsp ; ln -s /dev/dsp1 /dev/dsp
rm /dev/mixer ; ln -s /dev/mixer1 /dev/mixer


The alsa drivers work fabulously they allow you to configure the stuff !!  

Changing ...

alias snd-card-0 snd-card-via686a
alias snd-card-1 snd-card-emu10k1

to ..

alias snd-card-0 snd-card-emu10k1
alias snd-card-1 snd-card-via686a

would make the SB Live to be the first card!

[irrelevant lines from modules.conf have been left out]

BTW midi output from the SB Live rocks!! :-) 

[Vinu, if you are still on the list ... will mail you the details in a 
while! ]
