| Stick the hint into /boot/loader.conf and reboot.

How do I find the correct hint if I can't reload the sound module in
the new kernel environment and explore 'dmesg', '/dev/sndstat' and the
physical headphones with the new hint without a reboot?

Stick something in a file (/boot/device.hints or /boot/loader.conf),
reboot and see if it works... if it doesn't put a different
combination of 'cad', 'nid' and 'seq' and reboot?... And again and
again, till it works?..

(I would call this being grossly screwed up if I base my feelings on
the FreeBSD 8 experience. :)
