Read the comments in /usr/src/UPDATING.  Then read the comments 
in /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES and /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES.  The two 
NOTES files will show you all the devices that you can add to the 
kernel.

There's also a section of the Handbook devoted to configuring sound.  
Read through that as well.

And finally, I've posted a How-To / walkthrough for configuring sound on 
4.x and 5.x.  It's posted in the HowTo forum at 
http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/  Read through that as well.
