Does this mean that it's not necessary to have a pile of options if you
have non-standard base address etc. ?

In 2.0.5 (I'm about to upgrade), I have

controller	snd0
options		CONFIGURE_SOUNDCARD
options		"SBC_BASE=0x220"
options		"SBC_IRQ=5"
options		"SBC_DMA=1"
options		"SB16_DMA=7"
options		"SB16MIDI_BASE=0x300"

in my config file (or I had !).
