The sound card has a register to enable the joystick port so I need to know
where the sound card IO ports begin (and maybe to make use of a spinlock that
serializes hardware registers access).
Giving it a little more thought I will probably just set the register from the
sound card initialization, it's much easier and should work just fine...
