Hi there!

you don't actually need that option as things in 5.1 are mostly done 
through kernel modules instead of hardwiring the drivers in the kernel.

So have you tried using "kldload snd_driver" after you have logged in? 
Or have you added a "snd_load_driver" line into loader.conf?

HTH
Elijah.
