This is mine:

alias audio0 sb
alias synth awe_wave
alias mixer0 sb
alias midi0 sb
options sb irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 io=0x220 mpu_io=0x330

Combined with a small patch to make sound.o request the extra modules when
they're accessed, this works fine.

I'd post the patch, but I already did so a while back, and I'm busy trying to
persuade kernel 2.1.78 to compile on my fresh RedHat 5 installation.
