I don't know if there's a good reason why sound modules are not
built on amd64 at the moment. They do build fine if enabled, and
at least snd_via8233 works here (both preloaded and kldloaded). I
suppose there might be amd64-specific problems with some of the
other drivers.

To enable building the sound modules on amd64 by default, just apply
the following patch to /usr/src/sys/modules/Makefile.
