IIRC the kernel installed at first time you install Debian doesn't
have sound enabled, because this do need some info from you, e.g. I/O
addr etc. You should recompile kernel, in fact enable sound option at
configuration stage. Compiling kernel is not so difficult, install
one kernel source package and see manual of 'make-kpkg'. If you
configure kernel correctly, your SB16 should work. And have a look at
Hardware-HOWTO, maybe Sound-HOWTO and Sound-Playing-HOWTO.
