Unless this is some very new card (last few months), there exists no
SoundBlaster 16 clones.
I have an Aztech Sound Galaxy PRO 16 card, which I used before getting my
genuine SB32, and it was a good card.
Most cards which claim 16-bit sound mode usually use something like
MSS/WSS, and have a SoundBlaster PRO mode.
An interesting thing about some of the Aztech's (mine included) is that
they ran both 16 and 8-bit modes at once...(at least the DOS-sided driver
did, I could never get it to work this way under Linux, had to be one or
the other).
If it has an EEPROM / software jumper, set it for EEPROM and make sure the
correct values are in memory, and then you won't need to use LOADLIN, just
boot it straight to Linux.
