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?
