>My question: Where does the sound card fit in?

I recommend that you disable the LPT0 interrupt in BIOS setup, and
remove the IRQ for lpt0 from your kernel config.  Then IRQ 7 will be
free for your soundcard.  The lpt driver will use polling, which (from
what I've read) works better anyway.

Your other free interrupts are 11, 13, and 15.  The soundcard probably
doesn't support 13 (FPU) and 15 (2nd IDE), but 11 may work.
