What is SoundBlaster?

What I know:  It's an IBM add-on board that gives sound capabilities to the
		native IBM compatibles.

What I would like to know:

	How many voices can this hardware play simutaniously(sp?)?
	How is the sound quality?  How realistic?  CD?  Tape? (quality)
	What programs uses them?  (I would guess that lots of new games uses
				   them.  Music Demo --if any.  Music       
				   composing programs.. maybe?)
	
	And anything else about it..

Thanks in advance for any advices, opinions, helps.
