This topic has been hashed to death previously on this forum.  The SB16, SB
Vibra16, the Ensoniq 1371-1373 and many other sound cards use *only* device
pcm.  device pcm is 16 bit sound, device sbc0 is 8 bit sound.  I presently have
a SB16 installed and am using RealPlayer7 to listen to Beethoven's Emperor
Concerto in vivid 16 bit clear stereo.  I previously had the SB Vibra 16 and
Ensoniq 1373 installed.  Using ONLY device pcm, all of them worked perfectly.
 See the attached kernel config file "dave" and dmesg.  Note the kernel build
date.  It is the same date as cvsup and make buildworld.

If sbc1 or pcm1 appear in your dmesg, you have to "sh /dev/MAKEDEV snd1".  If
sbc0 or pcm0 appear in your dmest, you "sh /dev/MAKEDEV snd0".
