Hold on just a minute.  I happen to own the above mentioned card, SoundMan
Wave, and can play 16-bit sounds.  It has the OPL4 and MPU-401 chips in it.
For the person from Australia who was curious, the port on the back is a
standard MIDI/joystick port.  Personally, and you can correlate with reviews,
the card is a good buy for the money and has decent but not outstanding sound.
And, it is VERY compatible with games.  My $.02 ...
