I would try dumping OSS / ALSA  / whatever you've used, and just use Linux.
The kernel options are:

Sound support (obviously)
Sound Blaster Support
/dev/dsp or /dev/audio support
FM synth support (if you want midi as well - ick ;)

The Soundblaster options should be IO base 200, IRQ 5, DMA 1, 16bit DMA 5,
MPU401 IO BASE 0, MPU401 IRQ -1, Audio DMA buffer size 65536.

If that doesn't work I'll eat my kernel.

Cheers,

Alex.
