Hey, I just stumbled on the snd_* modules after a new hardware purchase / OS upgrade. I picked up a Gigabyte GA7DX motherboard with a built in sound chip. I figured it was something I would have to disable in the BIOS and end up buying a separate card that was supported by our drivers. While poking around the fresh install I visited the /modules directory and noticed a group of snd_*.o files. Being adventurous I typed "kldload snd". Within minutes I had mpg123 and cdplayer pumping sound out of my speakers. No need to recompile the kernel. Very cool. I don't need to buy another sound card! Nice work guys. -- -Ben Speirs (still wrestling with the new ATI Radeon card. I think this part of the purchase was a mistake.)
