I've used the Plan 9 Sound Blaster driver with the
newer plug and play cards, specifically the AWE32
and AWE64.  You may have to use the Windows driver
to configure the plug and play stuff to sensible
interrupts, but then Plan 9 can take over from there.

In one case this entailed loading the DOS SB PNP
device driver before running b.com, but I haven't
even had to do that on systems I've configured recently.

My general experience has been that if the card is
working in Windows and you shut down to DOS and
boot Plan 9 instead, all will be well.
