I was getting messages like this at one point with an SB16 and mp3 files
(I think the other formats worked), but I think the dma2 (dma16? - you
could try that instead) fixed it. Please search the BL archives for DRQ.
Does workbone work to play music CDs? (You need to symlink hdc or hdd to
/dev/cd first).
Try sox.tgz play program on a .wav file.
I posted a BL3 midi player playmidi (http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl maybe
in a BL3 directory). Try that on a midi file if you first insmod opl3
io=0x388 and use the switch -4 or -f for synthesized midi.

Try to get it working in DOS first and then boot with loadlin?
