From what I read the SBLive was released for OS 8/9 and never had OSX drivers from creative, bit I also found this:
"Mac OS X Jaguar owners have discovered that Apple has added support for some Sound Blaster products directly into the OS. The 24-Bit Sound Blaster Extigy and 16-Bit Sound Blaster MP3+ both work under Jaguar or newer OS releases, at least at a basic level. (These units ship with PC-only software bundles.) At about $59 US, the MP3+ is a good choice for iMac users looking to add digital and analog audio I/O to their systems at a reasonable price."

Same article talks about how stripped down (hardware and software features) the mac edition of the SBLive card was, no wonder it didnt sell well.
