  I own the Soundblaster and Adlib card, as well as a standard MIDI
  interface.  I would recommend the Soundblaster card over the 
  Adlib.  The sound quality is better, it IS Adlib compatible (uses the
  same chip set and their card responds to the Adlib driver) and, as you
  have stated, has more stuff on it (voice, etc...).  In general, the 
  sound quality of these "game" cards is rather lackluster.  MIDI is
  the way to go if quality sound is an issue.
