It provides audio drivers for Linux 2.4 for emu10k1 chips (SB live, audigy, etc). Upstream is dead since 2002 and the ALSA drivers are much better. 2.4 users can alternatively use the in-kernel emu10k1 drivers (unmaintained), or they can install the alsa-driver package (recommended) which is actively developed and is higher quality than emu10k1 anyway.
