Sound is really tough.  Sound cards have gotten oodles
more complicated since the SB16.  Apparently some really
new SBs don't work, but for a while the SB16 and SB32 and SB64
all just worked as SB16s.  The problem now is that most sound
cards seem to be ESS something-or-other, and getting
documentation out of them is nearly impossible (in some
cases, they don't even _have_ documentation internally:
they bought up the company making the chips and it got
lost in the shuffle or something).
