I have all ready removed the sound card statements from
the kernel source and recompiled. But during compiles for
other thinks I see a lot of statements roll by for sound card
support during make and make install processing.
I though maybe there was some way to un-bundle load module
support for sound cards.
Or let me ask this a different way.
What is the sound card statements I see roll by during
make & make install referring too?

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.
