I think sndstat should print the file name of the module. IIRC we refer to this string in some docs and tell the user to use it as to put '<string>_load="YES"' into loader.conf. So if you want to commit your patch, please change PCM_KDLSTRING in src/sys/dev/sound/pcm/sound.h to #define PCM_KLDSTRING(a) ("kld snd_" # a) > also, w/o this change I couldn't of loaded the module the way I did > above, w/o the snd_ prefix...
