Add a PCI network card with an old chipset, same for sound. For network, Realtek 8139 is classic, although tastes differ. A few PCI sound cards come with various means of emulating ISA sound blaster, but those often fail (IRQ, DMA, both...) on modern mainboards. Some (e.g. SB Live / SB PCI) even come with virtualizing drivers for DOS. Of course mplayer/mpxplay support some half-new chipsets directly, so if you have no need for game sound, I suggest a cheap PCI or PCIe soundcard with a chipset directly supported by mplayer or mpxplay :-) You can also try Covox (printer port) sound for games and try running DOS stuff in Dosemu or Dosbox in Linux or Windows...
