I have successfully used "Set #1", although it is not necessary to build
world except (as in this case) when you have updated the source tree.

That line should be the only one you need in the kernel configuration file;
however, you will need to cd to /dev and type 'sh MAKEDEV snd0'. (This
assumes that 'dmesg |grep pcm' reports that pcm0 is your sound device.
Change the number as necessary.) I have had few problems with the SB Live
and AWE 32, and I've been told that the SB 16 works fine.
