        This is strange.  A couple hours ago I kldloaded a few modules
        and saw that the card was my missing AWE64.  Now, when I load
        snd_sb16, it looks like an ISA SB 16.  It could be either.
        Note that if I load just snd_sb.ko, cat'ing /dev/sndstat returns
        zip.
        Still trying...
