The Sound Blaster hardware emulated by VMware has nothing to do with the real 
sound card on your host machine. All you have to do is install the SB 16 
driver insinde vmware (compile the sb module for your kernel) and assign IO 
address 220, IRQ 5 and DMA 1 to the driver (in /etc/modules.conf or using 
insmod).
