Getting sound to work

OK this should be simple, because I'm just trying to get the Sound Blaster 16 (sb16) card to work under Linux (kernel 2.4.5). Now I've read that by default it's all compiled, so I just have to insmod it and it should work. Only it doesn't. When I run the following command, I get the following response:

Code:
$ insmod sb
/path/sound/sb.o.gz: unresolved symbol sb_dsp_init
/path/sound/sb.o.gz: unresolved symbol sb_dsp_detect
/path/sound/sb.o.gz: unresolved symbol isapnp_find_card
/path/sound/sb.o.gz: unresolved symbol sb_dsp_unload
/path/sound/sb.o.gz: unresolved symbol smw_free
/path/sound/sb.o.gz: unresolved symbol isapnp_find_dev
/path/sound/sb.o.gz: unresolved symbol unload sbmpu
/path/sound/sb.o.gz: unresolved symbol probe_sbmpu


Now when I looked around some web sites, I found references to alsa sb16 drivers, and I even found an sb16.c file, but of course that's only one of many files required for an insmod. I would have thought though that all the files required would come as standard with the kernel, as one web publisher mentioned they were back in 2.2.16. So, not being a C programmer, can someone help me out with all those unresolved symbols? What do I do, short of a kernel recompile?

Slackware 8, and a fairly typical install at that.
