I picked up a SoundBlaster 16PCI and found out when trying to get it to
work that it really wasn't a soundblaster. Creative Labs bought Ensoniq
and they've been putting their name on some of them. Turns out my card
was really an Ensoniq PCI (es1371 chip). I used the pcm driver and it
works great. It's PCI so the device is pcm1. Take a look at the chip on
the board to see if your card is really something else.
