Then you are;
1) Not digesting the documentation properly.
2) You do not understand English enought to understand whats written.
3) Giving up before you have even started.
There is no need to fiddle with C programs, just do what the documentation
says. The relavant parts of the CDROM-HOWTO says, in section 4.3.1;
This driver accepts a kernel command line of the form:
sbpcd=<io-address>,<interface-type>
where the first parameter is the base address of the device (e.g.
0x230), and <interface-type> is one of "SoundBlaster", "LaserMate", or
"SPEA". See the file sbpcd.h for hints on what interface type to use.
Using sbpcd=0 disables auto-probing, disabling the driver.
Read it yourself again and all of it, your answer is there.
Actualy i have just written the answer..
