OK, here's dmesg with the Vibra16 installed.  The sound quality isn't quite 
as good as the SB16, but there is no static or other objectionable distortion.
I don't even have xmms installed, but RealPlayer7 is pulling down radio 
station WCPE from N.Carolina and the sound is OK.

Looks like I lost my Windoze drive when I changed out the hardware.  Not much 
of a loss.
