You really don't want a SB thingie for audio conferencing. 
Some of the traditional workstations use as the main audio component
a CS4231 which is found on PC cards such as the AudioTrix Pro,
the GUS Max and  emulated in hardware by the GUS PnP.

The SB thingies have two main problems lack of full duplex dma and
a decent clock.
