I'm running an Athlon 700/128ram with an SBLive in Mandrake 7.1, and I was
in the exact situation you described, and I now have working sound in
Linux. That's the good news. The bad news is that I'm not entirely
certain which thing I did to made it work. =)
Linuxnewbie.org has a little article called "SBLive" issues that
helped me out:

[At one point, the author warns the reader away from the 'make install'
command, but that was what worked for me, rather than his manual method,
so it might be worth a shot.]
The driver at Creative is updated VERY frequently; the one I'm using came
out the day I installed it (and finally got it to work).
Sorry I can't provide concrete answers. Good luck. =)
