I am unsure of how to access my Sound Blaster device.  I see entries of:
/dev/sb_fm
/dev/sb_dsp
/dev/sb_midi
/dev/sb_mixer

I am not sure which one to use or how to configure programs to use it.
At work I use Sun Sparc stations and they have a /dev/audio, all you have 
to do is cat a file to that device.  I have had no luck with that and the
above devices.  Thanks for any help.
