In addition to what Pedro said, I'd also be interested in knowing exactly what 
soundcard you have in there.  "Sound Blaster 16" could be any of several.  If 
it's the old ISA opl3 version, then I have had no luck getting mine to work 
at all.  I have a box with one of those thrown in it, and alsaconf doesn't 
get it going.  It detects the card, but when I probe its IRQ/DMA settings, it 
just comes back with an empty "OK" box.  No result, and the modules don't get 
loaded.  I haven't tried doing something about it manually, since I figure 
nobody is too likely to be running an old ISA card these days anyway.

If you don't already know what you have, then post the output of

/sbin/lspci
aplay -l
pmidi -l

(aplay is in alsa-utils and pmidi is in a separate package by that name)

Also tell us whether or not you're running JACK.
