Not familiar with that. What I'm talking about is actually passing options to
the kernel at the time the sb16 module gets inserted. You need io= irq= and
one other argument (IIRC, it's been 10 years since I dealt with non-PnP
hardware) to get the job done with that card.
Though PCI is so common and a quality card like the SB Live 128 are as cheap
as free if you look in the right places, and unlike the SB16, the Live 128
can play more than one sound at once. That might be a better long-term
solution.
