Well, here's what happens to anyone who buys a SB-16:
1) They install it in their machine, and pray for no conflicts.
2) They play Wolfenstein 3-D or Spear of Destiny.
3) They are disgusted with what they hear from their $250 soundcard.
4) They call Creative Labs and bitch.
5) Creative Labs tells them to send it in.
6) They send it in, shelling out $10 of their own for UPS insured postage.
7) After sitting on their bloated fatt butts for a week and a half, CL will 
   eventually acknowledge that they received it.
8) Add a week to that and get the news that a solution is months away.
9) Order the CL weasels to return the board to you.
10) wait another week for the CL weasels to mail the product back.
11) Wait another week for UPS ground shipment.
12) Post flame messages on internationally distributed network news systems.

Tentative:
13) Pray that you get the board back before your 30 day refund guarantee 
    expires. (PC Connection will is decent company, and would probably
    accept it if you go a little over 30.)
14) Receive the board.
15) Send it back to PC Connection, shelling out another $10 for postage.
16) Buy a non-Creative Labs soundcard.
