I just downloaded and blew up the tarball.  Maybe I expect too much of
a newbie, but I don't think you will have any trouble with it (he
said, confidently).

- Download the bundle.
- Go to a suitable directory where you want to blow it up, and then
  tar xjf /path_to/emu10k1-v0.20a.tar.bz2
  cd emu10k1-v0.20a
  less doc/README
- which will tell you to
  make
- and again
  make
- become root and install it:
  su -
  cd /path_to_where_you_were
  make install
- Add an entry for it in /etc/modules.conf
  cd /etc
  pico modules.conf
- which will read "alias sound emu10k1"
- Play something.
