I checked for you.  The for-pay version, opensound, supports all
four versions of the opl3-SA2 chipset.  The free version ossfree
claims to support some of them in Windows Soundsystem mode, after
isolating them with the pnp tools (isapnp).  Go there and grab the
latest version, though:

www.opensound.com/ossfree/

Suggestions:
1) Struggle through and get it to work using the MSS/WSS drivers.
Demented people such as myself consider this "fun and challenging"
or
2) Shell out $20 and buy the commercial version.  It galls me to pay
money for anything Linux, but the drivers /do/ work... especially for
plug-n-play boards.  This is what I am currently using to run a VIVO.
or
3) Go out an buy you a real, non-plug-n-play SB16 or Vibra16 -- if
you can still find them.  I wish I could...

Or get a gus!  Yeah...

Good luck!
