Hmm, what I have is:
alias audio sb
alias midi sb
options sb irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 io=0x220 mpu_io=0x330
alias synth opl3
options opl3 io=0x388
Then in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules, I modprobe for audio, midi, and synth.
(Maybe that's going overboard in my case, but I think it makes sense
to make separate aliases for the three components. Maybe the sound
module code could be changed so that loading major device 14 loads the
sound module, but then requesting one of the specific devices would
ask kerneld for the appropriate module alias.)
Just an idea.
