I have a short and simple patch against current kernels which enables
the passing of configuration parameters such as io and irq to the sb
module in sound. This eliminates the requirement for the

options sb io=...

line in /etc/modules.conf. Parameters compiled into the sb module in this
way are overridden by 'command-line' or 'options sb' lines. It works well
for me; others have tested the patch, but have not had sb cards to check
functionality. I don't expect any problems. The current patch is against
pre-90-1, but should work against most recent kernels; I just applied it
to pre-90-2 without incident. I have been using it since 2.1.87.
