Artsd : Cannot start sound i/o ???

[Jeff Stuart]

Jason, did you load the module for your SB 16 OR did you compile it into your 
kernel?  (This is the OSS module.)  If you're using Alsa, did you recompile 
Alsa to include the SB16 module?  Does lsmod show the drivers loaded for the 
SB card?  Also, check the perms on /dev/dsp*
