You also could add 'device sbc' to your kernel config since that is the
SB bridge driver. But the card should work with PCM only. 

What does 'cat /dev/sndstat' say?

The issue is probably some resource conflict. Since you have an SB 16,
I'll have to ask: is it ISA? Or ISAPnP? Or PCI? PCI should "just work"
but if it is ISA, you will need some tweaking.

You do not need this, devfs will create the device for you when needed.
