Build a custom kernel without any audio drivers in it? The GENERIC kernel config doesn't include any audio stuff anyway, so the customisation should be trivial :-) That said, there's probably a lot of other cruft you can strip out of GENERIC for this box, and you might want to have the firewall code compiled in rather than loaded from modules, so building a custom kernel is a good idea anyways.
