mo du le= emu10k1

emu10k1 is a standard driver available pre-compiled on almost all Linux 
distributions. You shouldn't have to download the source and compile from 
CVS.
$ apt-cache show awesfx
This package replace the old awe-drv and awe-utils package because
the driver is included in the kernel since a long time.

# modprobe emu10k1
should be sufficient.

I use emu10k1 as well, $ lsmod includes:
emu10k1                60812   1
ac97_codec             13684   0 [emu10k1]
soundcore               3940   9 [snd emu10k1 sound]
sound                  59272   0 [emu10k1]
gameport                1676   0 [emu10k1-gp]

Use
$ man modprobe
to help you understand the process and where to find the files.

Then look under /lib/modules
You'll find a directory named after your current kernel (use 
$ uname -r
to find that) and in that directory, you'll find:
alsa/snd-emu10k1.o        
alsa/snd-emu8000-synth.o
alsa/snd-emu10k1-synth.o  
alsa/snd-emux-synth.o

That's all you need to know - modprobe will sort out the rest, as above.

$ - user command
# su to root and type exit after issuing the command

so:
$ su
Enter password:
# modprobe emu10k1
# exit
$

modprobe will tell you if there are errors.

To load the same module next time you boot, see:
/etc/modules.conf
# Please do not edit this file directly. If you want to change or add
# anything please take a look at the files in /etc/modutils and read
# the manpage for update-modules.

On my system, the files for /etc/modutils and alsa are in
/etc/alsa/modutils/1.0
so there's a symlink in /etc/modutils/
### DEBCONF MAGIC
# This file was automatically generated by alsa-base's debconf stuff
alsa-base - ALSA driver configuration files

So make sure you have;
# apt-get install alsa-base

Alsa should take care of the rest.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to confess to being a little
lost here.  What am I looking for?

Avoidance! Don't download the CVS, you don't know you need it until you know 
if the current emu10k1 works or not.
