And I finally found the GENERIC configuration. snd_hda is indeed built
in. So I'll wind up testing this on my next reboot (I've commented out
the loader.conf entry that loads a bunch of snd_* modules that I
probably don't need).

In the meantime, sound on the system passes the idiot test:

cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp

produces white noise. So I'm guessing my problem is at a higher level.

Thanks!
