I experienced the exact same effect and the exact same message when I had
misconfigured the interrupt for my SB16 and attempted to play something.

One device on IRQ 5......

Annnnnnnddd yet another device on IRQ 5.. This looks highly suspicious.
I am not familiar with your hardware, however, I only specify one device
on a given IRQ. How about removing the "device sb0" line, and leaving the
mss0 device configured? (if indeed you DO have this particular chipset on
your card.)

a THIRD device on IRQ 5? If you are actually detecting a Sound Blaster, I
don't think that you have a "MPU-401" type "standalone" card. Perhaps you
might also remove this config line? (Or just try any of the three
"devices" you have listed one at a time.)

Detects a Sound Blast(ish) card, aaaaaaaaaaand the mss0? Spooky. Again,
I would recommend removing your mss0 specifier and try just the sb0
device alone.

Ditto for this guy.
I'm not much of an expert on configuring pesky devices; thus far the
device support for my hardware has been just shy of flawless.
But, it really seems like you have redundantly allocated resources to
multiple sound cards; of which, you only (appear) to have one.
