I do not understand what you are trying to accomplish.
YMF7xx that Z505JE employs is a PCI device, therefore
memory mapped I/O addresses and IRQ are assigned by the
BIOS and kernel PCI framework. There is a Sound Blaster
and MIDI/401 part with ports, but those are assigned
through the PCI interface. Besides, the Sound Blaster part
does not work.

You cannot use the ALSA driver that I ported due to license
incompatibility, but read the source again and understand
how it works.
