On the subject, there needs to be a sound(4) manpage that explains
exactly which module to load for each chipset.  Getting sound on
FreeBSD working isn't so cool.  While having the modules split up
into a dozen or so parts for different chipsets is cool from
an engineering perspective, it's pretty confusing to users.  Can't
we just have a "kldload sound" thing that will load them all? 

Also the manpage for sound should explain how to load the drivers.
