If all you want to do is play CDs, you're ok. Otherwise, I'd recommend getting some linux sound software and playing around to make sure the rest of it is configured properly. > I did not select the SB16 as a MODULE though, is that preferable ? Well, assuming you already have module support in your kernel (you most likely do), compiling the driver as a module means that whenever you're not using your soundcard, the driver isn't in RAM, which frees up some memory. If you have a lot of RAM, or you don't care about effeciency, not using the module is fine. It's possible, tho, using kerneld (which is probably also already installed), to have the kernel auto-load and -unload the driver for you when needed, if it's compiled as a module.
