I assume you mean 2.2.x. It all depends on the chips in the soundcard
(or on the mobo). For example, I use:

soundcore sound uart401 sb opl3 (Intel RH)
soundcore sound ad1848 uart401 opl3sa (Intel TC)
soundcore sound mpu401 ad1848 opl3sa2
                (Intel LT with noname soundcard: Yamaha OPL3-SAx)

Select Help when configuring the kernel and selecting the modules.
If you've installed these with a packaged kernel, you might want to
prune /etc/modules. As for a table, you can read the file
Documentation/Configure.help in any kernel source package (and
perhaps kernel doc package) which is the file used by Help.

With sound, there's no easy one-to-one lookup table that I know of.
I'm afraid I just grepped the drivers/sound directory and spotted
the chip numbers (read off the chips or from the CMOS information
which is useful for the addresses etc. To load my modules above,
/etc/modutils/local contains

options opl3sa io=0x530 irq=10 dma=0 dma2=1 mpu_io=0x330 mpu_irq=7
options sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
options opl3 io=0x388
options opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1

Cheers,
