I'm not sure why you have an snd device at all.  It isn't a real 
device, it is just a label for MAKEDEV.  The devices created are 
things like audio, midi, dsp, mixer, music, etc.

If you do a "cat /dev/sndstat" it will tell you if the pcm driver 
successfully loaded and what hardware it found, e.g.:

 $ cat /dev/sndstat
 FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Dec 11 2000 15:10:13
 Installed devices:
 pcm0: <AudioPCI ES1371> at io 0xd000 irq 5 (1p/1r channels duplex)
