Modules are the way to go. Compiling in-kernel is really only needed if you
need some option that isn't available as a sysctl or if you need a device for

Yours may be of the "some more audio controllers embedded in a chipset"

pciconf -lv
No port needed.
If you find out which snd_blah you need and it still panics if you kldload
