As far as I know, the only PCI devices that would emulate the Sound Blaster 16's functions would be Creative's Sound Blaster Live! and SB PCI series. I am concerned with these cards compatibility with the digitized portion of the '16. Now, the TSR driver uses EMM386, which certain DOS games will not work with. The only ones I know of only support the SB Pro. Other DOS games require it, and most don't care one way or the other. Sound Blaster 16 support not only gives support for 16-bit digitized sound playback, but 8-bit digitzed sound playback at 44.1kHz, which is must more important.
So, how well does the emulation work in this limited instance?
