Seems like the FAQ's are a litle behind reality :-).
The Soundblaster 16 is a supported device.
You need to add to your kernel the followig lines:


controller	snd0

device sb0	at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr
device sbxvi0	at isa? drq 6
device sbmidi0	at isa? port 0x300
device opl0	at isa? port 0x388

Look at /sys/i386/conf/LINT for comments. Also match the above values
with the values your card is set. The lines above are not the default :-).
I have changed some of the defaults my Soundblaster 16 MultiCD was set
to avoid problems with my Adaptec SCSI and my ISDN card's.
