The sound module options have changed in 2.1.x kernels, the 8 bit DMA
channel and 16 bit DMA channel are now separate options. Read the
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/soundblaster file to have the whole
syntax.

I can't give you an example, because i've compiled 'hard' the sound
support in the kernel, not as module (that's a solution, too...).

Here are the relevant lines of my /usr/src/linux/.config file for a
2.1.127 kernel and a SB 16 ISA PNP card (commented lines are skipped).
