Hi: there are 2 types of SB16 - PNP and not PNP. Im assuming yours is not. The most common and, IIRC, default config is: snd_port=0x220 (this can be 220, 240, 260 or 280 IIRC) snd_irq=5 (can also be 7, 9, 10 or 11 methinks) snd_dma8=1 (though I've also seen it set to 3) snd_dma16=5 snd_mpu_port=0x330 (this can change too) Since I run one of these cards and just upgraded to 0.9beta10, I include my aliases for alsa attached.
