Hmmm.  I know of the beast, but have no experience with it.  The
Vibra16 is the OEM name for the Soundblaster 16, so you may be able
to use that driver.  Especially if it /is/ indeed circuitry compatible.

I, however, suspect that its similar to a SB16 only under Windows drivers,
from watching some boot-up sequences with the OPL3-SA.  Suggest you 
go "out there" and ask about how other Laptop, Dell and HP users
got along (I know at least some of the HP Pavilion machines have these
chips.)

Once again, check at www.opensound.com and see if they claim to support
the OPL3-SA.\

Either way, it sounds like you /can/ get 16bit sound out of it, given
a working driver. 

I, for one, would kill for a plain, old, everyday, NON plug-n-play,
with-jumpers, SB 16...
