I assume you mean the mcd device driver.

Note that your soundcard does NOTHING with regards to CD audio other than
serve as a mixing board.  You do not need to have a driver loaded for CD
audio to work (assuming that your sound board's CD input volume is
umuted).

If you wish to play digital audio files, then yes you need to have the
driver configured.  For an SB16, you'll need to build a new kernel with

controller pnp0

then use the standard snd0/sb0 devices to set it up (consult the LINT
configuration file).  See the Handbook if you need help on building a
kernel.
