Look at chapter 14 in the handbook. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/handbook/sound.html You have to add "device pcm" and rebuild your kernel and boot to it. At that point, you have to do a "./MAKEDEV snd0" and you should have sound. Some where in man pcm or one of the other man pages, they suggest that you link /dev/cdrom to /dev/acd0c.
