Get a better sound card...
If you are sufficiently advanced to be compiling your own kernel instead of using a nicely packaged one (from Linux-Mandrake for example :)), then you should expect to jump through some extra hoops to get the functionality you desire.
As SB is ISA, probing a fixed list of ports (or even a single port) can be pretty ugly if you don't have the expected hardware present on those port(s).
