Wow. Thank you gentlemen, Ralf, Abe, Adam, Kaj. Just great. 

The SB Live card is OK. I can distinguish between it and the 
onboard Via chipset. And load Soundfonts into it. I will leave 
Pulse Audio as-is for now. 

:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [Live           ]: EMU10K1 - SB Live! [CT4620]
     SB Live! [CT4620] (rev.4, serial:0x211102) at 0xd000, irq 16

After I wrote, late that night with some persistence, I set up 
Qtractor to play MIDI to Qsynth, and saved the Qtractor score 
as I went. 

Was so impressed, I tried to get Audacity to record via jack, but 
didn't quite manage that. 

So in general I guess we start with Qjackctrl first. 
Although; Session/Connect/PatchBay, I not sure how I'd save a 
working complex patch.   


It seems I am under way, folks. And know I can get back with specific 
questions if need be. Thank you again. 

Perhaps one neat trick is to start the applications from the 
command line, to get used to the Options and also the Error 
reports.
