You have a Pro Audio Spektrum 16 compatible card.
>From /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound/README.cards (outdated, but anyway):
"ProAudioSpectrum 16 support",
- Answer 'y'_ONLY_ if you have a Pro Audio Spectrum _16_,
Pro Audio Studio 16 or Logitech SoundMan 16 (be sure that
you read the above list correctly). Don't answer 'y' if you
have some other card made by Media Vision or Logitech since they
are not PAS16 compatible.
ProAudioSpectrum 16 and compatibles
-----------------------------------
PAS16 has a SB emulation chip which can be used together with the native
(16 bit) mode of the card. To enable this emulation you should configure
the driver to have SB support too (this has been changed since version
3.5-beta9 of this driver).
With current driver versions it's also possible to use PAS16 together with
another SB compatible card. In this case you should configure SB support
for the other card and to disable the SB emulation of PAS16 (there is a
separate questions about this).
With PAS16 you can use two audio device files at the same time. /dev/dsp
(and
/dev/audio) is connected to the 8/16 bit native codec and the /dev/dsp1 (and
/dev/audio1) is connected to the SB emulation (8 bit mono only).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is always a good idea to read the documentation:
$ zless /usr/doc/HOWTO/Sound-HOWTO.gz
(if you have the doc-linux package installed)
