Subject:   sound in a 5.3 kernel ?

I have previously been able to run freebsd 5.x on my thinkpad R32.  After
having had a disk problem, I installed 5.3 on the same system over the
weekend (reformatting the freebsd slices in the process)
When it came time to build the kernel for sound, however, I got confused.
Previously, using the line

device		pcm


Would set up the needed sound support.  I read that this is no longer
supported in 5.3.  I have tried a couple of permutations to solve this,
with no luck thus far.  My most recent attempt in my kernel was the lines

device		sound
device		sound_sbc
device		"sound_sb16"

This kernel doesn't seem to accomplish anything, though.  I also tried
setting the bootloader to load all the sound drivers, which never did any
better than to get me a little bit of sound when starting X (then no sound
in X afterwards)

What do I need to do?  What is the best alternative to the previous
"device pcm" line for the kernel?
