I've seen a few music/sound products that hook up through the parallel
port, but if you're looking for AdLib/SoundBlaster compatibility, that's
not the way to go...

Why not just go with the SoundBlaster MC?  It's a Micro Channel version
of the SoundBlaster that will take up a 16-bit slot, and will also allow
a joystick.  Initial production problems appear to be licked (from the
people I've talked to) and the product should be in the $200-300 range.
