I'm lost now...  I looked at the handbook under kernel config / sound, and
I see the sb0 (which probes OK) listed as "Sound Blaster digital audio",
and the opl0 (also probes OK) listed as the midi device.

sbxvi0 is "soundblaster 16... digital 16 bit audio" and this device is not
found, and apparently is not my card.

So does this mean that I can't play 16-bit audio?  The various RealPlayers
just screech unless I tell them to use 8-bit only, and catting a 16 bit
.au file to /dev/audio produces a very similar screech, but 8 bit is fine.

What am I doing wrong?  Are there more sound docs I haven't found?

Thanks,

Charles
