A few random points:

I have an onboard OPL3-SAX working flawlessly (as far as I've seen)
without using isapnptools, and on irq=5 (see conf.modules excerpt below).
I turned off PnP OS in my BIOS, and it finds the card fine (or at least, I
get to hear music :-)

/etc/conf.modules:
alias sound opl3sa2
options opl3sa2 io=0x220 mss_io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1

currently loaded modules:

opl3sa2
ad1848
mpu401
sound
soundcore

That's all I needed to do :-)
Except it doesn't work if I make it non-modular.
