/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/*  (what documentation is there).
Unfortunately, your PAS16 appears to be missing.

There is documentation for some other cards throughout the
/usr/src/Documentation tree.  Also, Red Hat boxes install a "module-info" file
in /boot.  It's for the 2.0.36 kernel Red Hat ships.

You might have luck with the PAS16 configuring it as a SB compatible, but it
would probably only use the card as if it were an 8-bit card.

FWIW, I'm running 2.2.0, and my sound card is working perfectly.  It's a
Creative SoundBlaster 16, no PnP.  I'm using the standard Red Hat sound
configuration scripts that come with 5.2, which works OK with the 2.2.0 drivers.
