Please note that the SBLive drivers are incomplete and broken timing
because Creative is very uncooperative. Due to that your results with
PA on this sound card may vary.

Don't buy Creative. (Why would anyone do that anyway these days?)

This is usually a sign that the drivers used are buggy or are blocked
by some other process. Run "pulseaudio -vvvv" in a terminal to figure
out what is going on.
