Not all PCI soundcards use the legacy gameport definition from the PCI
standard that "joy* at pci?" attaches to.

On many cards the "main" driver needs to explicitly enable the gameport
and attach either a special driver or the standard joystick driver. Try
finding docs for your soundcard or look at other OS and see if they support
it. If documented, it's pretty straigthforward (a few lines of changes)
to make it work, usually.
