[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Soundblaster card

I just joined this newsgroup, but I saw some mention of the Soundblaster 
card. I would like to know how good the card is. I have heard the Adlib 
card, and although it was obviously much better than the PC speaker it 
wasn't very impressive. Is the Soundblaster much better than the Adlib? HOw 
does it compare to, say, the Amiga's sound, and does it have that tinny 
"organ" sound to it that the Adlib does? Does it use "real" stereo or 
simulated? And how well does the digitizer it comes with work?
 
Lastly, if anyone knows the answer to this, I notice that Windows 3.0 has a 
sound driver. Is there hope of a driver coming out for the Adlib or 
Soundblaster cards? I know MS planned to use Windows as their multimedia 
platform and that would fit in.

Thanks.
