Hi.
I got audio working with pnp and pcm.
its' a Vibra16x on irc 5
I want to use the snd0 driver because the pcm driver isn't that great.

I tried the sb0
 and the kernel found this..
Feb 17 21:23:20 firebelly /kernel: sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa
Feb 17 21:23:20 firebelly /kernel: snd0: <SoundBlaster 16
Feb 17 21:23:20 firebelly /kernel: 4.16>
Feb 17 21:23:20 firebelly /kernel: sbxvi0 at drq 5 on isa
Feb 17 21:23:20 firebelly /kernel: snd0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.16>
Feb 17 21:23:20 firebelly /kernel: sbmidi0 at 0x330 on isa
Feb 17 21:23:20 firebelly /kernel: snd0: <SoundBlaster MPU-401>

So it worked, but sounds was panicy. Most of the time it played static
and things like quake and x11amp didn't do sound, it said x11amp
couldn't open the sound device
but i tried the console player mpg123 and it worked from time to time.
 Why would it only play static sometimes and only things like mpg123
would work part of the time.
X11amp never worked even when mpg123

X11amp works fine with pcm0. Although because pcm0 doesn't do well with
the dual DMA, quake doesn't 'work.

I'm happy with pcm0 and x11amp, but it would be nice to use sb0 and have
sound work 100%
