snd_driver will load every single sound driver available in FreeBSD,
all at once, and the kernel will attempt to detect every sound chipset
supported by those drivers.

Neat. Thanks much Freddie.

(No, i don't have any sound driver problems, but your method seems
much easier|lazier than to explicitly search for the sound hardware
& related FreeBSD bits.)
