I have an ESS 1869.  As far as RH's sndconfig tool is concerned, it is
the same as the 1868.  My modules.conf has :

alias sound sb 
alias midi opl3 
options opl3 io=0x388
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 mpu_io=0x330



As it says in the comments at the beginning of /etc/modules.conf, you
shouldn't edit it by hand.  Instead, put the lines in the following
files :

/etc/modutils/aliases :
    alias sound sb
    alias midi opl3

/etc/modutils/opl3 :
    options opl3 io=0x388

/etc/modutils/sb :
    options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 mpu_io=0x330


then run /sbin/update-modules as root.  The purpose of this is to
allow tools to automatically update your modules.conf file as needed
without losing any custom changes you may have.  Instead you edit
separate files that are specific to what you want, and let
update-modules combine it appropriately into modules.conf.
