Take a look at the src/sys/conf/NOTES file; the comment that describes
snd_sb8 also says 'to be used in conjunction with snd_sbc'.  Try adding
a device "snd_sbc" line to your kernel config file, see if it helps :)

Also, there may be no need to compile the sound driver into the kernel.
If you have not defined a MODULES_OVERRIDE variable in your environment
or your /etc/make.conf file, then, by default, the kernel building
process will also build all modules.  All that you need after that is to
either manually issue a 'kldload snd_sb8' command, or add to your
/boot/loader.conf a line saying:

snd_sb8_load="YES"

...as documented in the loader.conf(5) manual page.

Hope that helps!

G'luck,
Peter
