The kernel should recognize the card if the sound driver is
compiled in, or the module is loaded at boot time.

If it is really SB Pro compatible on the hardware level, then
all that should be needed is to add the cards ID's to the probing
code if it is a PnP card.  If it is not, and the card and the
driver agrees on the resources, then you're probably out of luck.

If the card is SB Pro compatible in the marketing departments
minds, (read: softwarebased emulation) then you will have to
find a driver that supports the actual chipset that is used.
