Two options: The easy one is to put your script in 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d, if it's executable and ends in .sh it will be 
run at startup.

Alternatively try to create your script so it uses /etc/rc.subr - 
see the other startup scripts for samples - and enable it in 
/etc/rc.conf

I use 'ps -ax'

No need to build a kernel, just load the right modules. I don't 
know which is right for your card, but you can try them one by 
one. They are all named snd_

kldstat

Dunno, I suspect that you can't do name lookups or that no-ip has 
not registered your host. Maybe it expired becuase your script 
that updates no-ip didn't run too long?

Cheers, Erik
