This isn't needed, just load *all* snd_ modules.

When the soundcard is detected there should be some output in
/dev/sndctl, look at it for the "kld snd_*" string. The snd_XXX part is
the one you need to know below.

This needs a kernel rebuild. If you don't want to rebuild the kernel,
you just can add the line
	snd_XXX_load=3D"YES"	# e.g. snd_es137x_load=3D"YES"
to /boot/loader.conf and at the next reboot the kernel module will be
loaded at boot.

Bye,
Alexander.
