You can load modules on boot by placing their names in /etc/modules.
You can set options for modules by adding a file to /etc/modprobe.d
containing a line like:
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5
However, do look into alsa. With your sb card, it should be possible
simply to install the alsa packages, including alsa-utils, and run 'sudo
alsaconf' to get everything working. (You will first have to ensure
that the OSS sound modules mentioned above are not loaded).
