Greetings!

I recently got around to adding support to my kernel for my SoundBlaster
16 card.  This is one of the older cards, non-PnP, everything jumper-set.
It's set on IRQ 10, DMA1, 16-bit DMA 3, address 220h... everything is the
default except for the IRQ (the default is 7).  The kernel recognizes it
on bootup:

sb0 at 0x220 irq 10 drq 1 on isa
sb0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.5>
sbxvi0 at 0x0 drq 5 on isa
sbxvi0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.5>
sbmidi0 at 0x330 on isa
 <SoundBlaster MPU-401>
opl0 at 0x388 on isa
opl0: <Yamaha OPL-3 FM>

I also used the MAKEDEV script to create a devide node snd0, which in turn
created /dev/audio0 (and /dev/audio as a symlink to audio0).  The problem
is that whenever I try to use the sound device, it tells me it's busy.
Doesn't matter whether I'm a normal user, or root... the same thing
happens:

[2]root@ds9:/root # cat ~data/kh_theme.wav > /dev/audio
/dev/audio: Device busy.

Nothing is using the device; I even tried a full shut down and reboot,
just to make sure.  I checked around the handbook and FAQ, but couldn't
find anything to help me out.  Anyone have any ideas as to what might be
wrong, or if I missed something, and how I can correct it?

Thanks in advance!
