hi everyone i just recently got my sb16 card working with the command
modprobe sb
but the problem is if im playing a mp3 no other sounds will play
i have had this problem before under win98 and to fix it i had to install the correct drivers
so any help would be very helpfull

Well, ALSA was a long shot. I really doubt that your problem is caused by the sound card or its drivers. It's probably something like a priority setting somewhere else in an application program or the OS, but I don't have any idea where to look. Sorry.
