Unlike Windows Sound System cards, Sound Blaster can't play and
record simultaneously at the same time, so it's OK to have only
one IRQ/DMA set.
If your card was initialized properly for SB Pro mode, IRQ 5 and
DMA 0 shouldn't be the problem. I've tried that setting on my
OPTi sound card (with SNDINIT off course), and most DOS SB
programs (including Blaster Master) were able to recognize the
card and use it nicely.

In your case the "driver" is an initializer program, it's not
resident like SB's CT*.SYS drivers. Basically it's task is
just reading a configuration file, setting up your card's
operating mode via a propetiary way, then exit completely to
DOS. The settings on the card will last until your PC turned-
off, cold booted, or re-initialized.
If this Yamaha sound card widely used, there's a good chance
that an initializer program is available for Linux. If it's
GPL-ed, someone here might able to port it to DOS for you.
Meanwhile, keep looking for DOS or Linux recording program
that has support for Windows Sound System (WSS) compatible
sound cards; it should work with your sound card.
Anyone know such program?
