I only have looked at the sound support just recently ( got a soundcard
for my machine about a month ago ) and when I configure my kernel for
sound support, it doesn't allow it to be modular ( it's either compiled in
the kernel, or not at all ).  You will have to recompile your kernel with
SB 16/PRO support.  Then use the script included with the kernel source to
create the corresponsing /dev/ support.  That should work... did you do
that when you compiled your kernel?
