Well, at least I'm doing it right. That's what I wanted to know first of
all. Here's the lines I added to modules.conf:

alias sound mad16
pre-install sound /sbin/insmod sound dmabuf=1
alias midi opl3
options opl3 io=0x300
options sb mad16=1
options mad16 io=0x534 irq=5 dma=3 dma16=6 mpu_io=0x300 mpu_irq=11

I also attached isapnp.conf because it's so long.
Dma 3 and 6 is what it should be set to, but now it errors out whenever
I try to set it to that with isapnp. Here's the error:

isapnp.conf:87 -- Fatal - Error occurred executing request 'DMA 3' ---
further action aborted

So now when I boot up, the modules aren't showing up in lsmod anymore.
But those are the setting it should be at.
