You may have configured your kernel with sb0 support but not the sbxvi0
support (the latter being required for SB16 - with a 16bit DMA).
If, like me, you have a fairly new SB16 PnP, the second DMA channel is
8-bit also, which is not supported by the sbxvi0 device, so I use the
pcm0 device quite successfully.
See `man pcm' for details of how to construct the correct files within
/dev. IIRC, the symbolic links mentioned are now constructed
automatically.
