In fact, you should focus on old SB and new HDA standards. AC'97 is dead and usually on motherboards that has onboard AC'97 you can replace it by legacy ISA SB or PCI SB live/audigy with emulation driver. On newer PC you have only intel HDA (SB live emulation doesn't work).

Currently there are available 2 opensource sound libs for DOS quite up to date:
Judas 2.10d
WSS
I suggest to adopt WSS library. It has wider souncards support and it's more up to date. Khusraw was debugged it to work on many intel HDA verisons. It is used in mplayer DOS port and works well. So you can simply to link it with your application using DJGPP. Or if you're a hardc0re dude you can get inspired from WSS how the drivers works and implement it to JEMMEX/JLM to make regular legacy SB emulation driver for any old DOS program (already dreamed about it many times :) Sorry I couldn't help you with this task (don't have sound prog experiences).

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
