The problem most people are experiencing with GPL and SBLive is distorted
sound, not system lockups. I had a SBLive and none of the fixes helped for
me. There was a lot of crackling and some times the sound went totally
bananas and made it impossible to hear when it was time to shift up. This
happened after a shift-R and a new shift-R would normally fix it.
Lockup and sound loops sounds like an IRQ conflict. It's been a while since
I last messed around with IRQ's but can you make sure it doesn't share it's
IRQ with something else? Putting it in another PCI slot might help.
(MS spell checker doesn't recognize IRQ and PCI) :)
