Soundcard woes with emu 0404

I have a Emu 0404 usb soundcard and its not on the list of cards from /proc/asound/cards. I know that for most people, at least in ubuntu, the card works when you plug it in. I had previously gotten it working by installing the alsa-driver from source, but after a recent upgrade this no longer works. I have tried recompiling and installing the alsa-driver but there are multiple errors when compiling. Can anyone help me getting this working?

Also if at all possible I'd like to try installing this patch from the ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=888022&page=18

Re: Soundcard woes with emu 0404

update and bump.

I put snd-emu10k1 into the Modules list in rc.conf and the sound card is now shows up in the list of soundcards in alsamixer. snd_emu10k1 however still doesn't appear when I run lsmod.

I've tired compiling the alsa-driver from source however I get many errors. The error originally happened when I ran "./configure" it couldn't find a few "*.h" files. Using "./configure --with-kernel=/usr" configure works. But when I run "make" I get a bunch or errors "no such file or directory" with a lot of header files.

Any ideas?
